Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Elena. Your recent blood test shows your hepatitis B viral load has risen to eight hundred international units per millilitre, so we need a specialist review.
Non capisco, infermiera Bennett... il valore è salito? Vuol dire che il fegato sta peggiorando?
I've booked you with Dr Harding, a liver specialist at Blacktown Hospital, for next Thursday at ten thirty in the morning, so we can monitor this properly.
Devo digiunare prima dell'appuntamento con lo specialista, o posso mangiare normalmente quella mattina?
No fasting is required, but please bring your Medicare card, current medications, and let them know if your gums bleed easily.
Ho paura che possa trattarsi di cirrosi... è già così grave, infermiera?
There's no sign of cirrhosis right now, but the specialist will do an ultrasound scan to check your liver closely.
Devo prendere un giorno di permesso dal lavoro per questo appuntamento?
The appointment usually takes about forty-five minutes, and I can also give you a medical certificate for your employer if needed.
Devo portare un familiare che parli inglese, o mi assisteranno con un interprete in ospedale?
You won't need to bring your own interpreter today—the hospital will arrange one in Italian for your appointment.
Grazie mille, infermiera Bennett. Mi sento più tranquilla sapendo che verrò seguita così attentamente.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- medicareSi mantiene il termine inglese 'Medicare', pronunciato normalmente in italiano, senza tradurlo con 'assicurazione sanitaria' generica.
- medicare cardSi traduce con 'tessera Medicare' o si mantiene 'Medicare card'.
- medical certificateSi traduce con 'certificato medico'.
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.
