Read and listen to our H1 standard notes on Sraith Pictiúr 'Imreoir Gortaithe' below:

I bpictiúr a haon, tá cluiche iománaíochta faoi lán seoil idir Scoil Chaitríona agus Coláiste Eoin.
There’s a hurling match underway/in full swing between Scoil Chaitríona and Coláiste Eoin.

Tá slua ollmhór i láthair agus iad go léir ag baint taitnimh as an gcluiche.
There’s a huge crowd present and they’re all enjoying the match.

Ag an bpointe seo, tá an lámh in uachtar ag Scoil Chaitríona agus tá siad dhá chúilín chun tosaigh ar an bhfoireann eile.
At this point. Scoil Chaitríona have the upper hand and they’re leading the other team by two points.

Tá geansaithe, brístí gearra agus clogaid á gcaitheamh ag na himreoirí.
The players are wearing jerseys, shorts and helmets.

Ansin, feicimid Seán agus é sínte amach ar fhleasc a dhroime.
Then, we see Seán stretched out on the broad of his back.

Is léir go bhfuil sé gortaithe go dona.
It’s clear that he’s badly injured.

Tá an chosúlacht ar an scéal go bhfuil a chos briste.
It looks like his leg is broken.

Ritheann beirt mhaor amach ar an bpáirc ón dtaobhlíne le sínteán.
Two stewards run onto the pitch from the sideline with a stretcher.

Ritheann a bhainisteoir chuige chomh maith agus cuireann an réiteoir stop leis an imirt.
His manager also runs to him and the referee puts a halt to the play.

Tagann na seirbhisí éigeandála agus tugtar Seán chuig an Roinn Timpiste agus Éigeandála gan mhoill.
The emergency services arrive and Seán is brought to A&E without delay.

Gan dabht, tá sé in umar na haimléise.
Without a doubt, he’s in a bad way.

Tá beirt othar eile sa seomra feithimh roimhe agus iad ag fanacht le dochtúir.
There are two other patients in the waiting room before him, waiting for a doctor.

Tá lámh gortaithe ag duine amháin acu agus cos gortaithe ag an duine eile is cosúil.
One of them has an injured hand and the other has an injured foot, it seems.

Tá sé a trí a chlog faoin am seo.
It’s three o'clock by now.

Anois, tá sé a cúig a chlog agus níor thainig aon dochtúir go fóill.
It’s five o'clock and no doctor has arrived yet.

Ní mó ná sásta atá bainisteoir Sheáin agus déanann sé gearán faoi seo leis an mbanaltra.
Seán’s manager isn’t too happy and he complains about this to the nurse.

Tá drochbhail ar Sheán bocht fós.
Poor Seán still looks in a bad way.

I bpictiúr a cúig, feicimid Seán i mbun comhrá leis an dochtúir.
In picture 5, we see Seán chatting to the doctor.

Taispeánann an dochtúir x-gha de chos Sheáin dó.
The doctor shows Seán an x-ray of his leg.

Dar leis an dochtúir, tá a chos briste go dona agus faraor, beidh ar Sheán sos fada a ghlacadh ón iománaíocht.
According to the doctor, his leg is badly broken and Seán will have to take a long break from hurling.

Tá Seán croíbhriste faoi seo.
Seán’s heartbroken about this.

Tá Seán bocht ag seisiún traenála agus cuma bhrónach air.
Seán is at a training session and looking sad.

Beidh air cúig mhí a chaitheamh ar an taobhlíne go dtí go dtagann biseach air.
He’ll have to spend 5 months on the sideline until he’s better.

Cad a dhéanfaidh sé lena chuid ama? B’fhéidir go bhfoghlaimeoidh sé conas ficheall a imirt. An créatúr!
What will he do with his time? Maybe he’ll learn how to play chess. The poor guy!
