练习材料：Lesson 84 On strike 时长：77s
Busmen have decided to go on strike next week.
Busmen hæv dɪˈsaɪdɪd tuː gəʊ ɒn straɪk nɛkst wiːk.
The strike is due to begin on Tuesday.
ðə straɪk ɪz djuː tuː bɪˈgɪn ɒn ˈtjuːzdeɪ.
No one knows how long it will last.
nəʊ wʌn nəʊz haʊ lɒŋ ɪt wɪl lɑːst.
The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.
ðə busmen hæv ˈsteɪtɪd ðæt ðə straɪk wɪl kənˈtɪnju(ː) ənˈtɪl ˈʤɛnərəl əˈgriːmənt ɪz riːʧt əˈbaʊt peɪ ˈwɜːkɪŋ kənˈdɪʃənz.
Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week.
məʊst ˈpiːpl bɪˈliːv ðæt ðə straɪk wɪl lɑːst fɔːr æt liːst ə wiːk.
Many owners of private cars are going to offer ‘free rides’ to people on their way to work.
ˈmɛni ˈəʊnəz ɒv ˈpraɪvɪt kɑːz ɑː ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː ˈɒfə friː raɪdz tuː ˈpiːpl ɒn ðeə weɪ tuː wɜːk.
This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent.
ðɪs wɪl rɪˈliːv ˈprɛʃər ɒn ðə treɪnz tuː sʌm ɪksˈtɛnt.
Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts.
ˈmiːnˈwaɪl, ə ˈnʌmbər ɒv ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːsɪti ˈstjuːdənts hæv ˌvɒlənˈtɪəd tuː draɪv ˈbʌsɪz waɪl ðə straɪk lɑːsts.
All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test.
ɔːl ðə ˈstjuːdənts ɑːr ˈɛkspɜːt ˈdraɪvəz, bʌt bɪˈfɔː ðeɪ draɪv ˈɛni ɒv ðə ˈbʌsɪz, ðeɪ wɪl hæv tuː pɑːs ə ˈspɛʃəl tɛst.
The students are going to take the test in two day’s time.
ðə ˈstjuːdənts ɑː ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː teɪk ðə tɛst ɪn tuː deɪz taɪm.
Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work.
ˈiːvən səʊ, ˈpiːpl ɑː ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː faɪnd ɪt ˈdɪfɪkəlt tuː gɛt tuː wɜːk.
But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to students in letters to the press.
bʌt səʊ fɑː, ðə ˈpʌblɪk hæz ɪksˈprɛst ɪts ˈgrætɪtjuːd tuː ˈstjuːdənts ɪn ˈlɛtəz tuː ðə prɛs.
Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!
ˈəʊnli wʌn ɔː tuː ˈpiːpl hæv əbˈʤɛktɪd ðæt ðə ˈstjuːdənts wɪl draɪv tuː fɑːst!

知识笔记：/dr/
1）双唇稍稍突出，略成圆形
2）舌身保持发/r/的姿势，舌尖贴在齿龈后部，堵住气流。
3）舌头放开，让气流从舌尖和齿龈间冲出，冲破阻碍发出短促的/d/后立即发/r/。
注意：/dr/是个浊辅音，发音时声带震动。有些学生分不清/dr/和/dʒ/的区别，其实发/dʒ/时嘴唇需收圆，同时舌头闭气的部位也比/dʒ/靠前。也有人容易把这个音念成汉语中的"朱"，要注意不要在这个音的后面加上音/u/。/ts/,/dz/,/dr/,/tr/是传统的音标符号，新课本中美式、英式读音都没将其包括在内。
on strike adj.罢工
He said he had to go on strike, asking "What is next? "
