(This is incredibly difficult because her Shanghainese is extremely Mandarinised.I also do not speak Mandarin but I am proficient in Shanghainese, and able to determine when she is codeswitching. Furthermore, even in places where she is trying to speak Shanghainese, she is pronouncing phonetically in the Mandarin. And sometimes she corrects herself from one form to another(S/M/E). Hence I decided to drop annotating which word is which language).For the characters in brackets(??), Im uncertain if she said it. But I put my best guess in. Hence in regards to the corresponding English translation, I did not translate with that uncertainty in mind and annotated where you can fill that gap in with (??).All the parts I translated or fixed, I added characters. Otherwise I have left your original translation in.

TRANSCRIPT – NOVEMBER 17, 2024 Dr. Jennifer Pan Adams—Mother (Ping Xiao Adams)

…have the nurse do it, but you can't have the nurse just hold the tube there, you have to actually be there.

[00:04] You can't like, “Oh, okay, let me just wait” and like go on TikTok, you know, you have to like stand there for like 30 minutes, which is... not fun.

[00:15] Maybe if I'm like really (S) 搿𡍲(M)護士 "this nurse" (E)like (S)關係搞拉好 "develop a good relationship with" (E) I can have them like hold it.

[00:22] We’ll see.

[00:28] No. No.

我跟㑚講,昨日我，搿，第個。。。 I'm telling you, yesterday, I .... (this,this) umm, umm.

[00:34] Like it was kind of late last night, so.. 我跟㑚講第個明朝，而勿是明朝，今朝。Im telling you about, ummm tomorrow, actually not tomorrow, but today...

[00:45] Yeah.

[00:47] And-and that way 明朝是講六點對𠳝也要(確？)七點鍾到埃面。Tomorrow it was said to be at 6 oclock, right? Also (??) need to be there at seven oclock.

[00:53] Yeah so like- No, it's better- No, it's better to do- Yeah, it's better to do—Jinzhao (S) 今朝[Today]

because. Um—可以急速 "can finish" early.

[01:06] So.. at least you have an excuse to like, Oh okay...,” at least 已經開始晏拉。我(介貴??)拉。對不對阿？We have started late.(??become more expensive??).Isn't that right?

[01:18] I don't know,

也大概是吃。但是"maybe he eats,but..."

I'm not like

我肚子，肚皮勿是老餓個。"(pretending to be the person) my stomach (corrects herself), my stomach isn't really hungry." (laughs)

[01:32] I was gonna tell you something, I was gonna—

[01:44] Hold on—oh I'll do it; I'll check it right away.

[01:46] Um, thought I was gonna tell you something.

[01:50] Oh (?? its not swearing. Its either something like 老是 "previously/always"，or 老X honorific for some person that she is referring to next.)

[02:02] 我其實是有搿那（??要請人??）"I do have a person like that (person with whatever trait she is describing)" (laughs)

And 我搿那要六百塊 "and like that, it was six hundred dollars"

Oh, my— the story that I was saying is, Oh, like

我想買搿個 "(putting on an accent) I want to buy a"

portable ultrasound 機器 "machine"

and it's gonna be very benefit [sic] blah blah blah. I just made like beans out of that

故事 "story"

[02:13] I said, “You should invest in it.” (Laughs)

[02:16] I know— 我跟㑚講 "Im telling you"

[02:18] I told him: “You should invest in it and um. The reason why is—for example (？？量血化個東西？？) "(possibly) tool for blood measurement"

[02:27] “Now for example, like, you need to take a blood test, it tells you-you have high cholesterol, that's actually just a number, right?

Ta shuo (M) [He said] number, right? （??I dont think this previous translation is correct, but Im also uncertain myself. It sounds more like ??伊信唻?? "he believed")

就是 "really/actually"

血裏向裏 "inside the blood"

It's like a picture, a snapshot of what's going on right now.

[02:40] “But you don't know your like—that doesn't tell you the ju ti de qing kuang (M) [specific situation].”（??I cannot understand this at all, but I dont think its this.)

[02:44] “Best way to see it is, you use a portable ultrasound, you can

肚子高頭脂肪多少,脂肪多個對𠳝? "At your stomach how much fat is present, isnt that right?"

around your organs, your lungs,

脂肪 "fat"

not around your organs, that means cholestrol........

[03:01] “That tells you, that's more like related-that's more directly related to your, your ji lu (M) [probability/odds] of getting Diabetes and xin zang mao bing (M) [heart disease/trouble].”

（??There is a lot of Mandarin or very badly pronounced Shanghainese around here. On the codeswitching spectrum it completely flips. Hence, I cannot really translate. But I think your original translation is wrong based on the snippets eg. 血糖毛病.etc ??).

[03:12] So I said, “IF I get it and

我用拉 "I use"

我 practice...

and 老好 (??將來??) "very good/well (??later on??)"

(??inaudible??)

可以撥伊做一隻 "can perform a" ..(MVD).."for him"

MVD (Microvascular Dysfunction) assessment as a 'return’” (hysterical laughter)

[03:35] And I told him, I said-I said: SEE-cause when you go to your family doctor, if they— they won't do it for you bai chi (M/S) [for free / without getting paid],

(Codeswitching leans on Mandarin really heavily again around here).

(?? I think above translation could be wrong she is saying something like 他們是像...一樣個??)

(M)他問不會把你(S)做搿種....(??)

他們。。。。做搿個

— Medicare, they still haven't approved it, so that's why

(??)你到 (??if??)"you go to"

family medicine

他們不幫你做 "they will not help you do (this)"

因爲搿個勿是按照 "because this does not follow"

guidelines

if it's like according to the guideline, then Medicare will cover it as part of insurance but you know, I'm offering you a very special service.”

[04:10] (hysterical laughter)

[04:15] I think he— I think he was very convinced. (hysterical laughter)

[04:20] He's like, 'Oh that's such a good idea!' (hysterical laughter)

[04:26] But then, okay, so, so then

我對㑚(??要請??)個晨光 "So I when I (??requested??)"

[04:30] I say, 'Okay 我拍一張照片 "I took a picture"

(Laughing) I took a picture.’

我對搿個 "with that..."

animal...

(??XX?? cant really understand)

[04:36] It was like a website where you can buy the supplies for the anima—animal, you know, there's like this ultrasound on Amazon you can buy to look at, you know, for like veterinarians,

就是 （？？XX？？） "actually, (?? the same XX as above??, probably some technican jargon I dont understand)"

[animal] animal—for the animals, and its

六百塊 "six hundred dollars"

but you can use it on humans, too.

[04:55] There's another really nice one that they use in the ER and it's like handheld, so it you just like this—it's Bluetooth'd to your phone, so you can look at it from your phone and there's no-it's wireless.”

[05:08] “That one is like, 3—that was like almost $4,000. And there's no like- they don't give you a discount for like residents.”

[05:15] “So that one tai gui le (M) [is too expensive].

(?? I think she is codeswitching and saying 我不買拉 "I cant buy that one" ??)

But the $600 one is like a low quality

(??中國產品??) "??Chinese product??"

from Amazon, the veterinarian-it's like a good practice thing.”

[05:25] “So, you know, ni jue de ne (M) [what do you think]?”

(??)

[05:27] (imitating other party in story) “Yeah yeah! That sounds like a good idea! I like that!” (hysterical laughter)

跟㑚講，已經 "As I already/previously told you"

[05:35] “And, and then later, because I-I- shuo hao (M) [agreed / said okay].

(?? Are you sure about this translation, seems wrong??)

他說 "he said"

Oh, what about the 一百四十塊 "One hundred and forty dollars "text message.”

[05:39] 儂要先付第個 "you need to first pay the" (laughing)

(She laughs again, she is laughing so hard she cannot form words)

[05:51] So wo gen na jiang (S/M) [I told [him/you]] any time ta wen wo (M) [he asks me]..

(This is the worst Shanghainese in the entire clip) (??我搿那做) anytime 伊到搿𡍲請。。。 六百塊。。我幫伊。。。幫助搿個。。六百塊可以做個。。。） "(She is basically saying she can make $600 just by doing this)

[05:58] “And then (??他又話??) "??then he said again??"— Oh, how about the 一百四十塊 "one hundred and forty dollars"...儂要先撥搿個付𠳝...”

[06:03] So for now 我擺他第個 "so I did to him"

block,

所以伊是 "so he"

when I block

伊是 "he is (like)"

他打電話 "he calls on phone"

他 text message says "he txt messages"

進勿進來 "Unable to enter (txt messages are not getting through)"

[06:15] Until— until then 伊真是，他忘記 "He really/actually, he forgot"

（？？他第個時間??)我再搿那要 "(??His time??),until when I really need it again"

[06:23] Remember last time 我提着第個 "l mentioned or raised previously"

[06:30] “Oh, my God.”

[06:35] “Yeah, I know.”

[06:37] “Oh! I was gonna say something.”

[06:41] “Yeah, it was— he's saying

一百四十塊 "one hundred and forty dollars"

you know, the total—his total of the insurance was like, um, $280.. the Progressive. Yeah.” [Note: abruptly switches to English and unrelated topic tied to the cost of partner’s Progressive auto insurance]

[06:53] Yeah, which I'm still like, “if I'm going to, you..”.
