Full transcript
Thanks for coming in. I have your intake form showing a back injury at work — can you tell me what happened and when the pain started?
医生您好，昨天下午我在仓库搬箱子的时候，腰突然一阵剧痛，从那以后就一直没好。
Did you feel a sudden pull, or was it more of a gradual strain? On a scale of one to ten, how severe is the pain now?
应该是突然拉伤的，不是慢慢加重的。现在疼痛大概是七分，尤其是弯腰或者咳嗽的时候更痛。
Does the pain radiate down your legs, or is it isolated to your lower back only?
主要是在腰部，不会往腿上放射，但是站久了或者坐久了都会更明显。
I'd like to send you for an X-ray at Prince of Wales Hospital to rule out a fracture, since the pain hasn't improved in 24 hours.
好的，那大概要等多久才能拍到片子？如果没有骨折的话，接下来要怎么治疗呢？
The X-ray unit should see you within a couple of hours today. If clear, we'll refer you to physiotherapy in three days; worsening pain or numbness means go straight to emergency.
明白了，那我现在能不能上班？还是需要请假休息？
You should avoid heavy lifting or bending for now, and I'll write you a medical certificate for light duties only, not full-time work.
谢谢医生，我会按照您说的做，先做轻松一点的工作，等复查以后再看看。
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.
- Medical certificate说“病假证明”或“医生证明”。
- Light duties译为“轻工作”或“轻型工作职责”，简明达意即可。
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.
