Notes
Pictiúr 1
Sa phictiúr seo, tá Síle ag baint taitneamh as an oíche ag an dioscó lena cairde agus feicimid iad ag canadh agus ag damhsa le chéile.
Síle is enjoying the night at the disco with her friends and we see them singing and dancing together.
Níl cíos, cás nó cathú orthu.
They haven’t a care in the world.
Ag deireadh na hoíche, socraíonn Síle agus Sinéad sceallóga agus burgair a fháil toisc go bhfuil siad stiúgtha leis an ocras.
At the end of the night, Síle and Sinéad decide to get chips and burgers as they’re starving.
Pictiúr 2
Ag a seacht a chlog an mhaidin dár gcionn, buaileann clog aláraim Shíle agus múchann sí é.
At 7 o'clock the following morning, Síle’s alarm rings and she turns it off.
Is ar éigean atá sí in ann bogadh, tá sí chomh lag sin.
She’s hardly able to move, she’s so weak.
Glaonn sí ar a máthair, ag rá léi go bhfuil sí traochta amach is amach.
She calls her mother, telling her she’s totally wrecked.
Pictiúr 3
Is léir go bhfuil Síle in umar na haimléise ach níl trua dá laghad ag a máthair di agus seolann sí ar scoil í.
It’s clear that Sile’s in a bad way but her mother has no pity for her and sends her to school.
Faigheann sí an bus ag geata an tí agus tá an bháisteach ag stealladh anuas ar Shíle bhocht.
She gets the bus at the gate of the house and it’s teeming rain down on poor Síle.
Pictiúr 4
Feicimid Síle sa rang tíreolaíochta agus tá scrúdú tábhachtach ar bun aici.
We see Síle in geography class and she’s doing an important test.
Ní féidir léi díriú ar an scrúdú áfach toisc go bhfuil tinneas cinn uafásach chomh maith le fonn cur amach uirthi.
She can’t concentrate on the test, however, as she has a terrible headache and feels like throwing up.
Ní féidir a shéanadh go bhfuil sí i gcruachás ceart.
One cannot deny that she’s in a bad way.
Pictiúr 5
Iarrann Síle cead dul amach óna múinteoir agus ligeann sé amach í.
Síle asks for permission to leave from her teacher and he lets her out.
Téann sí díreach chuig an bpríomhoide.
She goes directly to the principal.
Insíonn sí di go bhfuil pian uafásach ina bolg aici agus go bhfuil sí fíor-lag.
She tells her that she has a terrible pain in her stomach and that she feels really weak.
Tá cuma bhuartha ar an bpríomhoide.
The principal looks worried.
Pictiúr 6
Tugann an príomhoide díreach chuig an dochtúir í agus aithníonn sé láithreach go ndearnadh nimhiú bia ar Shíle bhocht.
The principal takes her straight to the doctor and he immediately recognises that she has food poisoning.
Molann siad di sos leapa a thógáil go dtí go dtiocfaidh feabhas uirthi.
They advise her to stay in bed until she gets better.
Ní dóigh liom go mbeidh sí ag ithe burgar arís go ceann i bhfad.
I don’t think that she’ll be eating burgers again for a long time.
