Full transcript
Mr Rao, your CT scan shows a small tumour in your liver, about two centimetres wide, and it appears to be at an early stage.
ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ಇದು ಗಂಭೀರವೇ? ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಹಂತ ಎಂದರೆ ಇದು ಗುಣಪಡಿಸಬಹುದೇ?
Yes, it's serious, but early-stage liver cancer is often curable with surgery or targeted therapy. I can't promise a cure, though most patients do very well.
ಸರಿ, ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಏನು? ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೇ ಅಥವಾ ಬೇರೆ ಆಯ್ಕೆಗಳಿವೆಯೇ?
Before we plan surgery, we need blood tests to check your liver function and make sure you're strong enough for the operation.
ಈ ರಕ್ತ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳಿಂದ ಏನಾದರೂ ಅಪಾಯವಿದೆಯೇ? ಎಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಫಲಿತಾಂಶಕ್ಕೆ?
Those tests usually take about three days to process. After that, I'll refer you to Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre for a specialist surgical opinion.
ಪೀಟರ್ ಮ್ಯಾಕ್ ಕ್ಯಾನ್ಸರ್ ಸೆಂಟರ್ಗೆ ಹೋಗುವುದು ದುಬಾರಿಯೇ? ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಖಾಸಗಿ ವಿಮೆ ಇಲ್ಲ.
Please don't worry about the cost - as a public patient, your blood tests and specialist appointment are fully covered under Medicare.
ಅದು ಕೇಳಿ ಸಮಾಧಾನವಾಯಿತು. ಆದರೆ ಪೀಟರ್ ಮ್ಯಾಕ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪಾಯಿಂಟ್ಮೆಂಟ್ ಎಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ? ಎಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಕಾಯಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ?
Peter Mac typically offers an appointment within ten working days, and I'll flag your referral as urgent to shorten that wait.
ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್, ತುರ್ತು ಎಂದು ಗುರುತಿಸಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಸಮಾಧಾನವಾಯಿತು. ನಾನು ಆ ದಿನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕಾಯುತ್ತೇನೆ.
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'Medicare' ಎಂಬ ಪದವನ್ನು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಬೇಕು, ಇದು ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಹೆಸರು.
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.
