（单词翻译）

     For the second time this month, Bangladesh was hit Sunday by a general strike that closed shops and businesses and interfered1 with transportation.

    The 36-hour work stoppage was called by the opposition（反抗对立） Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its Islamic ally, Jamaat-e-Islami.  They are protesting a proposed amendment2 to  the nation's constitution that they say favors the incumbent3 government.
    Clashes between police and strikers were reported in Dhaka, the capital, and several arrests were reported.  The strike also was felt in the port city of Chittagong, the country's second largest.
    The change in the constitution proposed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from the ruling Awami League would scrap4 a system in which a nonpartisan caretaker government rules Bangladesh for three-months during an election period.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
