Welcoming the Board of Directors
ごえべえ

Gentlemen, I want you to know why it is so cold here. Because the porter who had been working for preparing this room for this meeting was gone, so his wife and I worked but we couldn’t make this room warm. Why he was gone because his son was run over by a car while he was sledding.
Welcome, gentlemen! You don’t need to worry about the financial situation of the company. You will receive dividends in this business year. Thank you for coming in spite of this heavy snow. The structure is creaking, but not the structure of the company. The structure of this dilapidated farmhouse is creaking.
Welcoming the gentlemen who trudged through the heavy snow, eating frozen apples. And welcoming the other four gentlemen who ran over the porter’s son, without speeding down the car.
Don’t stand up. Don’t leave here. I welcome you!


ほとんど同じことの繰り返しのような文章でしたが、子どもをひき殺した人たちは逮捕されてないんですよね。
話し手が来たときにはすでに子どもはひき殺されていたので、リムジンに乗っていた人は随分長い時間、その場所にいたのかな…

Welcoming the Board of Directors
Middle-angle
Despite of such a bad weather, thank you for coming all the way to the company meeting. First, please let me apologize for the miserable situation here. The meeting should have been prepared by the porter, his wife, and their 2 children. However, look at this! Windows have been broken by the storm, and you are sitting with your coats on as there are no stoves here. All is just because the porter has left in the midst of preparation. His wife told me that he had gone down to the village. You know why? His son was run over by a limousine.
Right after I arrived here, the wife and I did our best to welcome you but our effort didn't turn to be successful. Anyway I'm really glad you are here. Don't worry! You don't have to worry too mach about the company structure. What should be really concerned is the structure of this miserable farmhouse. Please come closer so that in spite of creaking, you can hear me clearer. I appreciate that you are here. I also would like to show my sincere appreciation to the porter, his wife, and their children, for what they have done for the meeting. They couldn't complete it though.
Since I don't have the name list, which has been taken by the porter, I recognize you as 2 groups, One consisted of 2 gentleman who came up to this farmhouse together, eating apples and worrying the company financial situation. And the other group of 4 gentlemen who came to the village down there by the limousine with which they run over the porter's son.
The structure is creaking. The farmhouse is creaking.
Everybody, please remain seated so that we can avoid stimulating the roof to fall down.
Gentlemen, please let me welcome you once again. Welcome you here! Welcome you here! You are here to be made an end of!

ぱんぷきん

We are supposed to have a meeting in the warm place. But here, it is pretty cold. I could figure out what happened after arrival in this cold farmhouse. The porter's wife was there alone sitting sorrowfully. She and her husband were to be prepared everything for the meeting. Their child had been run over by the limousine while sledding. So, the porter is not here but I welcome you as a group, not individually for that he has the list of names. I thank you for coming in the stormy weather and I apologize that the windowpanes have been broken by the storm although I and porter's wife covered the spaces, it doesn't work very much. So, you sit down at the table with your coats. The structure is creaking but not company's structure. I welcome two gentlemen who ate frozen apples together trudging through storm and I welcome the other four gentlemen who ran over the child with their limousine. I would appreciate the porter personally what he had done for the meeting such as painting wall. He is now down in the village with the child who was run over. I thank you all of you and welcome you. What a storm! The beams are bending from the weight of the snow. Please remain seated so that the roof doesn't cave in. I welcome you. I welcome you.
