Full transcript
Good morning, I see Dr. Chen has prescribed a new blood pressure medication for you today. Have you taken this type before?
没有，这是第一次吃这种药，医生说我血压有点高，让我按时吃。
No problem, please take one tablet twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, with a full glass of water.
早晚吃可以，不过我平时喜欢喝咖啡，吃药前后能不能喝咖啡呢？
Coffee is fine in moderation, but please avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with this medication and increase side effects.
我知道了，那我现在同时吃的必理痛可以继续吃吗？会不会有冲突？
Panadol should be fine together, but if you notice dizziness, swelling, or a very slow heartbeat, stop the medication and call your GP immediately.
好的，我会注意的。请问这个药大概要花多少钱？我有没有可以省钱的办法？
The price depends on your concession status, but with a valid Medicare card and PBS safety net, your cost could be significantly reduced over time.
明白了，那这次配的药大概能吃多久？下次我想去Chatswood那边的分店拿药。
This prescription gives you a 30-day supply, and you can order a repeat online anytime. If your blood pressure doesn't improve within two weeks, please see Dr. Chen again.
谢谢您，我会每天在家用血压计监测，如果有不舒服会马上联系诊所。
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.
- medicare直接说英文 Medicare，不用翻译，因为这是专有名词，中文里没有对应词。
- medicare card说“Medicare卡”，保留英文名称加“卡”字即可。
- pbs可保留英文缩写PBS，并补充说明“政府药物补贴计划”。
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.
