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!
公共汽车司机决定下星期罢工。罢工定于星期二开始。没有人知道它会持续多久。公共汽车司机们说,罢工将继续,直到达成全面协议的工资和工作条件。多数人认为此次罢工至少会持续一个星期。很多私人汽车的车主正准备提供免费乘车的人对他们的工作方式。这将会在一定程度。与此同时,许多大学生自愿在罢工期间驾驶公共汽车。所有的学生都是开车的能手,但在驾驶公共汽车之前,他们必须通过专门测验。学生要参加考试,在2天的时间。即便如此,人们会发现很难找到工作。但到目前为止,公众已经表示感谢学生写信给报社。只有个别人反对学生会开车太快!
