Full transcript
Let's take a proper look at your daughter's eyes today — when did you first notice the redness, swelling, and the discharge starting?
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ನಿನ್ನೆ ಸಂಜೆಯಿಂದ ಅವಳ ಬಲಗಣ್ಣು ಕೆಂಪಾಗಿ, ಜಿಗುಟಾದ ಹಳದಿ ಸ್ರಾವ ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರವಾದಾಗ ರೆಪ್ಪೆಗಳು ಅಂಟಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದವು.
This looks like acute infective conjunctivitis, most likely bacterial rather than viral. Her eye is red, swollen, and there's thick yellow discharge, especially noticeable after she wakes up.
ಇದು ಬೇಗ ಗುಣವಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೇ? ಅವಳು ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಬಹುದೇ, ಅಥವಾ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇರಬೇಕೇ?
She should stay home from school until the discharge has completely cleared, which usually takes about three to five days, not just one.
ಔಷಧಿ ಹನಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಹಾಕಬೇಕು? ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಬಾರಿ, ಎಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಬಳಸಬೇಕು?
Use these antibiotic eye drops three times a day for five days — one drop in each eye, even if it looks better sooner than expected.
ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಮಗನೂ ಇದ್ದಾನೆ. ಅವನಿಗೆ ಇದು ಹರಡುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಇದೆಯೇ? ನಾವು ಏನು ಜಾಗ್ರತೆ ವಹಿಸಬೇಕು?
Don't let her share towels, pillowcases, or washcloths with her brother at all, and make sure everyone in the house washes their hands often.
ಮೂರು ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಧಾರಣೆ ಕಾಣದಿದ್ದರೆ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು? ಮತ್ತೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಳಿ ಬರಬೇಕೇ?
If it hasn't improved within three days, or her vision suddenly changes, take her straight to Frankston Hospital's emergency department, don't wait for the weekend.
ಸರಿ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಅರ್ಥವಾಯಿತು. ಔಷಧಿ ಹನಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಹಾಕುತ್ತೇನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಟವಲ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕವಾಗಿ ಇಡುತ್ತೇನೆ. ತುಂಬಾ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
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.
- emergency department'ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆಯ ತುರ್ತು ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ವಿಭಾಗ' ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಬಹುದು; ಇದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಮತ್ತು ನಿಖರವಾದ ಅನುವಾದ.
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.
