Full transcript
Looking at your X-ray, your lower right wisdom tooth is impacted and causing an infection in the gum tissue around it, which explains the swelling.
はい、二日前から奥歯がすごく痛くて、頬も少し腫れています。やっぱり抜かないといけないんでしょうか。
You'll need a referral to an oral surgeon, since this tooth is angled against the nerve and too deep for a general dentist to remove safely.
そうなんですね。専門医に紹介していただけるのはありがたいですが、費用や待ち時間はどれくらいかかりますか。
Medicare won't cover this unless you're eligible for public hospital dental care, and the public wait list at Adelaide Dental Hospital can be up to eight weeks.
八週間はけっこう長いですね。もし民間の歯科保険に入っていたら、もっと早く診てもらえますか。
If you don't have extras cover for major dental work, a private extraction with the oral surgeon usually costs around eight hundred dollars, payable upfront.
残念ながら、そのタイプの保険には入っていないので、公立病院の順番を待つことにします。その間、痛みはどうすればいいですか。
I'll prescribe antibiotics and pain relief for now, and please avoid hard, hot, or chewy foods until after the surgery is done.
分かりました、薬は忘れずに飲みます。次の診察はいつ受ければいいですか。
Let's book a follow-up appointment in two weeks to check on the infection, and I'll give you the signed referral letter today.
二週間後ですね、承知しました。紹介状もありがとうございます、その日にまた伺います。
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。
- Public hospital「公立病院」と訳す。
- Extras cover「エクストラ保険」または「付帯給付」と訳す。
- Referral letter「紹介状」と訳すのが最も自然。
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
