25.01.10 Communicating with Foreign Patients 외ꡭ인 ν™˜μžμ™€μ˜ μ†Œν†΅

ν•˜ λŒ€ν‘œ 2025. 1. 12. 22:44

I have been working as a nurse in a university hospital for 18 years.

​

When I first started at my job, we only encountered foreign patients on rare occasions.

* on rare occasions : λ“œλ¬Όκ²Œ

​

But these days, I meet patients from all over the world.

​* from all over the world : λ‹€μ–‘ν•œ ꡭ적의

​

This means I often need to explain hospital procedures or guide patients through medical tests.

​* guide someone through : ~μ—κ²Œ ...절차λ₯Ό μ•ˆλ‚΄ν•˜λ‹€

​

Sometimes when I have to suddenly speak English, my mind goes blank and I struggle to find the right words.

κ°‘μžκΈ° μ˜μ–΄λ‘œ 말을 ν•΄μ•Ό ν•˜λŠ”λ°, 머릿속이 ν•˜μ–—κ²Œ 되고 μ μ ˆν•œ 단어가 λ– μ˜€λ₯΄μ§€ μ•Šμ„ λ•Œκ°€ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​* mind goes blank : 머릿속이 ν•˜μ–—κ²Œ λ˜λ‹€

* struggle to find the right words : μ μ ˆν•œ 단어가 λ– μ˜€λ₯΄μ§€ μ•Šλ‹€

​

To address this, I always carry around an English guide provided by the hospital.

이어 λŒ€μ²˜ν•˜κ³ μž, λ³‘μ›μ—μ„œ λ‚˜λˆ  μ€€ μ˜μ–΄ μ•ˆλ‚΄λ¬Έμ„ 늘 가지고 λ‹€λ‹™λ‹ˆλ‹€.

* always carry around : 항상 μ§€μ°Έν•˜λ‹€

​

I refer to it or show it to the patients to communicate when needed.

* refer to something : ~을 μ°Έκ³ ν•˜λ‹€

​

Still, I hope to improve my English skills so that I can freely interact with patients without relying on the guide.
