Jack sits down at Jane's lunch table during a seminar break
Jack: Is this seat taken? Mind if I sit down?
Jane: No. Feel free. I hope you don't mind me reading the newspaper while I wait for my food?
Jack: No worries. Anything to unwind after such a long seminar....
Jane: Hey, do you know anything about this hunger strike mentioned in the paper?
Jack: Oh. Some students have been staging a hunger-strike at Memorial Hall.

杰克：这个位子有人坐吗？我可以坐这边吗？
珍：没有。请便。我等餐送来时看个报纸，希望你不介意？
杰克：别客气。开了这么久的座谈会，只要能轻松一下都是好事……。
珍：嘿，你了解报纸上说的绝食抗议是怎么回事吗？
杰克：喔。有群学生一直待在纪念堂绝食抗议。
