【課文】
Busmen have decided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions. Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. Many owners of private cars are going to offer‘free rides’to people on their way to work. This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test in two days' time. Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the Press. Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!
公交司機(jī)決定下周罷工。罷工將于周二開始,沒有人知道會(huì)持續(xù)多久。公交司機(jī)已表明,罷工將一直持續(xù),直至就薪資和工作條件達(dá)成全面協(xié)議。大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為,罷工至少會(huì)持續(xù)一周。許多私家車車主打算為上班途中的人們提供“免費(fèi)搭乘”,這將在一定程度上減輕火車的壓力。同時(shí),許多大學(xué)生已自愿在罷工期間擔(dān)任公交車司機(jī)。所有學(xué)生都是駕駛技術(shù)嫻熟的老司機(jī),但在駕駛公交車之前,他們必須通過一項(xiàng)特殊測(cè)試。學(xué)生將在兩天后參加測(cè)試。即便如此,人們上班通勤仍將面臨困難。但截至目前,公眾已在致媒體的信件中向這些學(xué)生表示感謝。只有一兩個(gè)人提出異議,認(rèn)為學(xué)生開車可能會(huì)太快!
