Full transcript
Let's go through your admission for Thursday's knee replacement at Prince of Wales Hospital. Can you confirm the surgery is still scheduled for eight o'clock in the morning?
はい、木曜日の朝八時と聞いています。でも、病院はどこにありますか。初めて行くので少し不安です。
The hospital is on Barker Street in Randwick, right beside the light rail stop, so it's easy to find. Please don't worry — reception staff will meet you.
ありがとうございます、少し安心しました。ところで、手術前は何も食べてはいけないのでしょうか。
Yes — please stop eating solid food six hours before admission, but you may drink small sips of water until two hours beforehand.
分かりました。では、普段飲んでいるアスピリンはどうすればいいですか。手術の前に止めた方がいいですか。
Please don't take aspirin for seven days beforehand, unless your surgeon has specifically told you to continue it for another condition.
分かりました、今日から控えます。当日は何を持っていけばいいですか。
Please bring your Medicare card, current medication list, comfortable loose clothing, and arrive at Barker Street entrance by seven o'clock sharp.
家族も一緒に行った方がいいですか。待合室はありますか。
Yes, one family member is welcome to wait in the surgical lounge on level two, and we'll call them once you're settled in recovery.
ありがとうございます、これで安心して手術に臨めます。
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.
- medicare固有名詞としてそのまま「Medicare」と言う。日本の健康保険とは制度が異なるため『健康保険』と訳さず、Medicareのまま伝えるのが安全。
- medicare card「Medicareカード」とそのままカタカナで言う。
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.
