The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached abo这里为什么不用a general agreement？ut pay and working conditions.

   【答】句子应该是：The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.

    这里的 agreement 是不可数名词，意思是“（意见或看法一致）”，如：The two sides failed to reach agreement. 双方未能取得一致意见。（摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第9版p.44）
