Full transcript
You've mentioned headaches for the past three weeks — can you describe where the pain sits, and how strong it feels, from one to ten?
ខ្ញុំឈឺក្បាលរយៈពេលបីសប្តាហ៍មកហើយ ភាគច្រើននៅផ្នែកខាងមុខ និងកន្ទុយភ្នែក ប្រហែលប្រាំមួយលើដប់ ជាពិសេសនៅពេលព្រឹក។
Do you notice any blurred vision, nausea, weakness on one side, or sudden worsening when you cough or bend forward?
ពេលខ្លះភ្នែកមើលឃើញព្រិលៗបន្តិច ប៉ុន្តែគ្មានចង្អោរ ឬអស់កម្លាំងម្ខាងខ្លួនទេ។
I'd like to refer you for a CT scan at Liverpool Hospital, since these symptoms need a closer look to rule out anything serious.
តើត្រូវតមអាហារ មុនពេលថតស្កេនដែរឬទេ?
No fasting is needed for this scan — just arrive fifteen minutes early on Thursday at nine thirty for your nine forty-five appointment.
អរគុណច្រើន។ ចុះតើមានកន្លែងចតឡានងាយស្រួល នៅមន្ទីរពេទ្យនោះទេ?
There's a multi-storey car park at the hospital entrance, though it can fill up quickly, so allow extra time. Please watch for sudden severe headache or vision loss.
អញ្ចឹងបើឈឺក្បាលកាន់តែខ្លាំងភ្លាមៗ តើខ្ញុំគួរធ្វើដូចម្តេច មុនដល់ថ្ងៃថតស្កេន?
If the headache comes on suddenly, feels like the worst you've ever had, or you develop weakness, go to the emergency department immediately, don't wait for the scan.
យល់ហើយ។ ខ្ញុំនឹងចងចាំមកតាមម៉ោង ហើយប្រយ័ត្នមើលអាការៈទាំងនោះ អរគុណច្រើនសម្រាប់ការពន្យល់!
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 departmentនិយាយថា "ផ្នែកសង្គ្រោះបន្ទាន់នៃមន្ទីរពេទ្យ"។
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.
