Lesson 84 On strike
罢工
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，谁也不知道会持续多久。司机们声称此次罢工将一直持续到就工资和工作条件问题达成全面协议的时候为止。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为乘车上班的人们提供“免费乘车”的服务，这将在某种程度上减轻对火车的压力。与此同时，有一部分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，他们必须通过一项专门测验。学生们准备在两天后就接受测验。即使这样，人们仍会感到上班有困难。但到目前为止，公众已经向新闻界写信表达他们对学生们的感激之情了。只有一两个人提出反对意见，说学生们会把车开得太快！

（3）the strike will
continue until general agreement is reached about
pay and working conditions.此次罢工将一直持续到就工资和工作条件问题达成全面协议的时候为止。
在until 引导的时间状语从句中，主语agreement 的定语about pay and working conditions 被谓语隔开了。因为谓语很短，如果定语紧跟agreement，则句子读起来会头重脚轻。这种修饰语与被修饰语隔开的情况通常在不会引起误解时使用。如He looked at the girl with large blue eyes 这句话就容易引起误解，with large blue eyes 既可修饰he 也可修饰the girl。
