Full transcript
Let's take a look at what's been bothering you today, Ms. Sokolova. Can you point to exactly where the pain is, and how long it's lasted?
Уже четыре дня сильно ноет этот зуб, особенно когда я ем или ложусь спать ночью.
The X-ray shows an abscess forming at the root of that molar. If we don't treat this now, the infection could spread further into your jaw.
Понятно, доктор. А у вас есть рассрочка платежа? Я переживаю, что лечение будет дорого стоить.
Yes, we do offer a payment plan — fifty dollars a fortnight for three months, interest-free. Medicare doesn't cover this procedure, but private health insurance often does.
У меня есть частная медицинская страховка, попробую оформить возврат через неё. Сколько визитов мне потребуется?
The full treatment needs two visits — root canal filling first, then a crown. All up it's about six hundred and fifty dollars.
А можно ли перенести второй визит на три недели позже? Мне нужно съездить в командировку.
You shouldn't leave more than two weeks between visits, otherwise the infection could come back before the crown's fitted.
Зуб очень сильно болит прямо сейчас. Можно ли начать принимать антибиотики уже сегодня, до следующего визита?
I'll prescribe antibiotics for the infection now. Let's book your next visit for Thursday the ninth at ten o'clock.
Спасибо большое, доктор. Я приду в четверг в назначенное время.
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.
- MedicareГоворить просто «Medicare» как есть, это устоявшееся название собственной системы, аналогов которой нет в русскоязычных странах.
- Private health insuranceСказать 'частная медицинская страховка' — стандартный и понятный перевод.
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.
