Full transcript
Mr Costa, how many times have you had loose, watery bowel motions since yesterday morning, and does anything seem to trigger or ease it?
Já fui ao banheiro umas seis vezes desde ontem de manhã, doutora. Nada parece aliviar, e piora bastante depois que eu como alguma coisa.
Have you had any fever, vomiting, stomach cramps, or noticed blood or mucus in your stool, and are you keeping fluids down?
Não tive febre, mas senti um pouco de náusea. Não vi sangue nem muco, só umas cólicas fortes de vez em quando.
Did you eat anything unusual recently, like the chicken skewers at that barbecue in Geelong two days ago, or drink untreated water?
Sim, comi uns espetinhos de frango num churrasco aqui em Geelong há dois dias. Bebi só água da torneira, nada de água não tratada.
Keep drinking oral rehydration fluids regularly, avoid dairy, caffeine and fatty foods, and rest as much as you can today and tomorrow.
Entendi. Posso tomar algum remédio, tipo Imodium, para segurar isso um pouco enquanto trabalho?
Don't take loperamide if you still have fever or blood in your stool; see a GP soon if there's no improvement within forty-eight hours.
Que bom, não tenho febre nem sangue. Vou seguir as suas orientações. Vai me dar um atestado para o trabalho?
I'll write you a medical certificate for three days, but please come back sooner if symptoms worsen, or you notice blood, or fever develops.
Perfeito, muito obrigado. Vou beber bastante líquido e evitar laticínios. Se não melhorar, procuro o Barwon Health, certo?

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.
