“Ladies and gentlemen， I'm the owner of the Hudson Pavilion. I'm sorry about the pipe theft. We've called the police. Please enjoy your coffee before the police arrive at the school.（先生，女士们，我是赫德森馆主，这里的负责人，对于烟斗失窃事件，我感到很遗憾，我们已经报了警，在警察到来到学校之前，请大家享用咖啡。）”
这时，一个东方面孔的年轻男人站出来说话了。
“The owner of the Hudson Pavilion， since the pipe is not worth the money， maybe it's just a hoax for the thieves. It's better for us to solve the problem ourselves before the police come. If we can't find the pipe， everyone will be asked by the police. I don't think it's a good experience.（赫德森馆主，既然烟斗并不值钱，或许这只是盗窃者的一个恶作剧呢，不如在警察来之前，我们自己解决了这个问题，如果找不到烟斗，大家都会接受警察的询问，我想这不是一个好的体验。）”
“How can we solve this problem ourselves? Besides， I don't know if other people approve of your proposal.（我们自己怎么解决这个问题？而且，我不知道其他人是否赞成你的提议。）”
年轻男子环视一圈众人，目光在顾宋两人身上停留了一下，随即又错开，他问，“Do you agree to my proposal?（各位同意我的提议吗？）”
