N2 Conversation Lesson 8 - Medical - Discussing Health Check Results

💬Dialogue

A

先生、先日の健康診断の結果はどうでしたか。

Doctor, how were the results of my health check the other day?

うーん、全体的には大きな問題はありませんが、いくつか気になるところがありますね。

Hmm, overall there are no major problems, but there are a few areas of concern.

B
A

えっ、どこでしょうか。

Eh, where?

特に血糖値と肝機能の数値が少し高めです。お酒を嗜むのは楽しい反面、飲みすぎは体を壊しかねませんよ。

Specifically, the blood sugar and liver function numbers are a bit on the high side. While drinking is enjoyable on one hand, drinking too much might ruin your health on the other.

B
A

はい、確かに最近は接待や飲み会が続いていまして、断りがたい状況だったんです。

Yes, certainly social gatherings and drinking parties have been continuing lately, and it was a situation hard to decline.

ですが、数値が悪化しているからには、今のうちに生活習慣を見直す必要があります。

However, since the numbers are worsening, you need to review your lifestyle habits right now.

B
A

そうですか...。具体的にはどうすればいいでしょうか。

I see... Specifically, what should I do?

まず、お酒は週に2日は「休肝日」を設けてください。単に食事を制限するのみならず、軽い運動を心がけることが、改善の鍵を握るといっても過言ではありません。

First, please set up two "liver rest days" a week. Not only limiting your diet, but also keeping light exercise in mind—it's no exaggeration to say that this is the key to improvement.

B
A

わかりました。今後の努力次第で改善しますか。

Understood. Will it improve depending on my future efforts?

ええ。3ヶ月後に再検査を行いましょう。その時までに数値を改善しておいてくださいね。

Yes. Let's do a re-examination in 3 months. Please improve the figures by then.

B
A

はい、頑張ります。

Yes, I will do my best.
