Full transcript
How long have you been experiencing this lower back pain, and did it start after a specific incident?
ខ្ញុំចាប់ផ្តើមឈឺខ្នងផ្នែកខាងក្រោមតាំងពីបីសប្តាហ៍មុន បន្ទាប់ពីលើកប្រអប់ធ្ងន់ៗនៅកន្លែងធ្វើការ។ វាឈឺដូចជាឈឺគួច ហើយកាន់តែធ្ងន់ធ្ងរនៅពេលឱនខ្លួន។
On a scale of one to ten, how severe is the pain, and do you notice any numbness or tingling down your legs?
ខ្ញុំគិតថាវាឈឺប្រហែលកម្រិតប្រាំពីរនៃដប់ ប៉ុន្តែគ្មានអារម្មណ៍ស្ពឹក ឬដូចមានអគ្គិសនីរត់ចុះជើងទេ។ គ្រាន់តែពេលព្រឹកខ្ញុំមានអារម្មណ៍រឹងតឹងខ្លាំង។
I'd like to start you on some gentle stretching exercises, and if there's no improvement, I may refer you for an X-ray.
តើការថតកាំរស្មីអ៊ិចនេះគ្របដណ្តប់ដោយមេឌីខែរឬទេ? ខ្ញុំមិនចង់បង់ថ្លៃច្រើនទេ។
Yes, an X-ray referral is usually bulk-billed under Medicare, so you shouldn't be out of pocket. I'll also prepare a light-duties certificate for your employer.
តើវិញ្ញាបនបត្រនេះមានសុពលភាពប៉ុន្មានថ្ងៃ? ខ្ញុំអាចធ្វើការនៅតុការិយាល័យបានទេ ឬត្រូវឈប់សម្រាកទាំងស្រុង?
The certificate will cover two weeks of light duties, avoiding heavy lifting or prolonged standing. If your pain persists, we'll reassess and consider further imaging.
តើត្រូវរង់ចាំយូរប៉ុណ្ណាបើត្រូវការធ្វើអេស្កេន MRI? ខ្ញុំបារម្ភថាការឈឺនេះនឹងកាន់តែអាក្រក់ទៅៗ។
If an MRI becomes necessary, waiting times vary by hospital; at somewhere like Frankston Hospital, it could take anywhere from a few weeks upward, depending on demand.
អរគុណច្រើន។ ខ្ញុំនឹងព្យាយាមធ្វើលំហាត់ទាំងនោះ ហើយនឹងវិលមកជួបអ្នកវិញបើគ្មានការប្រសើរឡើងក្នុងរយៈពេលពីរសប្តាហ៍។
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.
- Medicareគួររក្សាទុកជាឈ្មោះអង្គភាព និយាយថា "Medicare" ដដែល មិនបកប្រែជាភាសាខ្មែរទេ។
- Out-of-pocketគួរពន្យល់ថា "ចំណាយផ្ទាល់ខ្លួន ដែលអ្នកជំងឺត្រូវបង់ខ្លួនឯង"។
- Light dutiesនិយាយថា "ការងារស្រាល" ឬ "កិច្ចការងារកម្រិតស្រាល"។
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.
