Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mr. Conti. Before we start the examination, could you describe exactly where your back pain is located today, please?
Il dolore è nella parte bassa della schiena, da giovedì scorso, e a volte scende lungo la gamba destra.
Did something specific happen, such as an injury while lifting boxes at work, or did the pain start gradually over the past week?
Sì, dottoressa. Stavo sollevando delle scatole pesanti nel magazzino di Geelong quando ho sentito una fitta improvvisa.
On a scale from zero to ten, how severe would you say the pain is right now, and does it radiate down your leg?
Direi circa sette su dieci, e sento anche un formicolio che arriva fino al piede destro.
I'll examine your spine and check your reflexes now. If there's no improvement within two weeks, I'll refer you to Barwon Health for an X-ray.
Capisco. Posso continuare a lavorare al magazzino, oppure devo fermarmi completamente per un po'?
You should avoid heavy lifting for now, but light duties at the warehouse are fine if your employer can arrange them this week.
Va bene, parlerò con il mio supervisore domani mattina. Posso prendere qualcosa per il dolore nel frattempo?
Take paracetamol for pain relief, but avoid ibuprofen for now, since it can upset your stomach when taken on an empty stomach.
Grazie mille, dottoressa. Seguirò i suoi consigli e tornerò se il dolore non dovesse migliorare.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

- light dutiesSi traduce come 'mansioni leggere' o 'compiti alleggeriti'.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
