Full transcript
Good morning, I'm Doctor Lisa Chen from the neurology team at Westmead Hospital. Can you tell me exactly how your husband has been feeling since his fall yesterday?
他从梯子上摔下来以后一直说头很晕,还吐了两次,而且好像想不起来今天早上发生的一些事情。
The CT scan shows a mild concussion with no bleeding, but he still needs close monitoring for the next 48 hours to be safe.
那太好了,没有出血我就放心多了。请问他大概需要多久才能完全康复?会不会留下什么后遗症呢?
Recovery usually takes about six weeks, but he must avoid strenuous activity and come back immediately if his symptoms get worse.
好的,我会注意的。那他现在需要吃什么药吗?是不是还要再回来复诊一次?
He should take the prescribed medication twice daily with food, and he must not drive at all until we clear him medically.
明白,我会提醒他的。他平时是做建筑工地的工作,比较辛苦,那他现在还能继续上班吗?
He shouldn't return to work at all until his follow-up appointment at 10am next Tuesday, when we'll reassess his progress carefully.
好的,我记下来了,10点的复诊我一定带他来。那如果他在家里,我要留意什么情况才需要马上送医院呢?
Please watch for severe headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, or unusual drowsiness—if any of these occur, take him to the emergency department immediately.
好的,我记住了,如果出现这些症状我会马上带他去急诊;要是情况没那么严重,我就打电话去神经科问问看。
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.
- 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.
