Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mrs Rostami. Before we start, can you tell me a little about how you've been feeling lately, and what's been troubling you most?
راستش زیاد خوب نیستم. حدود سه ماهه که شبها درست نمیخوابم، دائم دلشوره دارم و حتی موقع کار هم نمیتوانم تمرکز کنم. گاهی حس میکنم قلبم تندتند میزند.
How many hours of sleep are you actually getting each night, and has this been happening every single day, or only on some occasions?
معمولاً فقط دو یا سه ساعت میخوابم و این تقریباً هر شب اتفاق میافتد، نه فقط گاهی. حتی روزهای تعطیل هم فرقی نمیکند.
There's a free mental health support program through Bendigo Health that offers several counselling sessions with a psychologist who understands your cultural background well.
این خیلی خوب است. ولی میخواستم بپرسم آیا این برنامه رایگان است یا باید هزینهای هم پرداخت کنم؟
If you have a current Medicare card, these counselling sessions are usually bulk-billed, so you won't need to pay anything out of your own pocket.
بله، مدیکر دارم و هنوز اعتبارش تمام نشده. آیا میتوانم در جلسات بعدی هم همین مترجم فارسی را داشته باشم؟
Yes, we'll arrange a qualified Persian interpreter for every appointment you attend. Your first session is scheduled for this Thursday at ten thirty in the morning.
خیلی خوشحالم که پنجشنبه نوبت دارم. ولی اگر قبل از آن حالم بدتر شد چه کار کنم؟
If things get worse before then, you don't have to wait for the appointment — Lifeline is available twenty-four hours a day on thirteen eleven fourteen.
متشکرم، این شماره را یادداشت میکنم. خیلی آرامتر شدم که میدانم تا پنجشنبه تنها نیستم.
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.
- counselling sessionsبگویید «جلسات مشاوره»؛ این معادل رایج و دقیق در فارسی است.
- medicareهمان کلمه انگلیسی «Medicare» را بدون ترجمه بگویید، چون یک نام رسمی است.
- medicare cardبگویید «کارت Medicare» و نام Medicare را به انگلیسی نگه دارید.
- lifelineهمان نام «Lifeline» را به انگلیسی بگویید، چون نام رسمی سازمان است.
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.
