Full transcript
Good afternoon, Mr Rahman. Can you show me exactly which tooth is hurting, and please tell me since when the pain started.
Selamat petang, Doktor. Gigi geraham bawah sebelah kanan saya sakit sejak tiga hari yang lalu, terutamanya semasa saya makan.
I'll take an X-ray now to check for infection at the root. Have you noticed any swelling, fever, or bad taste recently?
Tidak ada demam, tetapi gusi saya sedikit bengkak pagi ini dan berdarah sedikit semasa saya berus gigi.
The X-ray shows an infection at the root of that molar. You'll need a root canal, which usually takes about sixty minutes. Do you currently have private health cover?
Saya tidak mempunyai insurans kesihatan swasta, saya hanya bergantung kepada Medicare sahaja.
Medicare won't cover the full cost of a root canal treatment. If you can't pay the whole amount at once, we offer a payment plan through Bankstown Dental Clinic.
Baiklah, boleh awak terangkan bagaimana pelan pembayaran itu berfungsi? Berapa yang perlu saya bayar setiap bulan?
You can pay one hundred and twenty dollars monthly over four months. I'll also prescribe antibiotics — please tell me if you're allergic to penicillin.
Saya alah kepada penisilin, jadi saya agak risau untuk mengambil antibiotik yang awak cadangkan tadi.
No problem, I'll prescribe erythromycin instead, since it's safer for you. Please return next Thursday at ten a.m. for the root canal appointment.
Baik, Doktor. Saya akan datang pada hari Khamis, pukul sepuluh pagi, untuk rawatan rootkanal itu. Terima kasih banyak.
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.
- private health coverBoleh sebut sebagai 'insurans kesihatan swasta' atau kekalkan 'private health cover/insurance' jika lebih jelas dalam konteks ayat.
- medicareKekalkan sebagai 'Medicare' tanpa terjemahan kerana ia nama khas skim kerajaan.
Practise it
