Full transcript
Good morning, I'm Dr. Chen. Can you tell me exactly what happened when your son's breathing suddenly became difficult this morning?
他刚才在院子里跑跳，突然开始喘不过气，还咳嗽得很厉害，嘴唇都有点发紫了，我马上给他用了在家的吸入器。
Did you give him his blue reliever inhaler at home, and if so, how many puffs, and did his breathing improve afterward?
用了两下蓝色的那个吸入器，好像稍微好一点，但他还是说胸口很闷，呼吸不太顺。
Let me listen to his chest carefully now. Does he have any known allergies, or has anyone in the immediate family ever had asthma or eczema before?
最近花粉比较多，他好像对这个季节比较敏感，我们家没有人对什么过敏，不过他爸爸小时候也有哮喘。
His oxygen level looks fine right now, but I'll give him a nebuliser treatment here and renew his reliever prescription today.
谢谢医生，那他明天还能去上学吗？我有点担心他会不会太累。
He should stay home from school tomorrow if he isn't fully recovered. I'll also write down a clear asthma action plan for you.
好的，那如果今天晚上他情况变严重了怎么办？
If he doesn't improve within fifteen minutes of using the reliever, or his lips turn blue again, take him to Westmead Hospital's emergency department immediately.
明白了，如果十五分钟内没有好转或者嘴唇又发紫，我们就马上带他去威斯特米德医院的急诊。谢谢您，医生。
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.
- asthma action plan译为“哮喘行动计划”，直译即可，是医疗领域通用译法。
- emergency department说“急诊科”即可，这是标准对应词。
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.
