Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Mr Rostami — your scan confirms a moderate cataract in your left eye that's affecting your driving vision.
دکتر، من الان به سختی میبینم و رانندگی برایم خطرناک شده. نوبت جراحی من برای دو ماه دیگر است. آیا راهی هست که زودتر وقت بگیرم؟
Yes — if your vision drops further or you have a fall, call us and we can move you onto the cancellation list, which sometimes brings a wait forward to about three weeks.
متشکرم دکتر، این خیلی کمک میکند. جراحی به چه صورت انجام میشود؟ آیا با بیهوشی کامل است یا فقط بیحسی موضعی؟
It's day surgery under local anaesthetic eye drops, not general anaesthesia, so you'll be awake but feel no pain, and you'll go home the same afternoon.
خوب است که بیدار میمانم. دکتر، بعد از عمل، بینایی من چقدر طول میکشد تا کاملاً برگردد؟
Most patients notice clearer vision within 48 hours, though full stabilisation can take up to four weeks while the eye heals completely.
متوجه شدم. آیا اجازه دارم بلافاصله بعد از عمل رانندگی کنم یا باید صبر کنم؟
You mustn't drive on the day of surgery, and you'll need clearance from us at your follow-up visit the next Thursday before getting back behind the wheel.
دکتر، آیا این جراحی تحت مدیکر پوشش داده میشود یا باید هزینهای بپردازم؟
Medicare covers the standard procedure at Concord Repatriation Hospital, though there's a small gap fee of around eighty dollars for the specialist consultation.
متشکرم دکتر، همه چیز روشن شد. من نوبت را برای پنجشنبه هفته آینده تنظیم میکنم.
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.
- medicareهمان کلمه انگلیسی «Medicare» را بدون ترجمه بگویید، چون یک نام رسمی است.
- gap feeبگویید «هزینه اختلاف» یا «مابهالتفاوت پرداختی از جیب بیمار».
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.
