As the newly appointed chairman of our company, /
I would like to offer you all my sincere greetings. //
I want to let each and every one of you know /
that I am very excited about working together as a team /
in the months and years ahead. //
As you know, / we are one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers, /
with operations in many countries / on nearly every continent. //
This makes it impossible for me /
to meet and greet each and every one of you in person today. //
And it is why I have asked your local office /
to present this video message / at a time convenient to you. //
During the next month, /
I will be traveling to our major production locations all over the world /
to learn more about our operations, our strengths, our weaknesses, /
and our potential for the future. //
I encourage you all to introduce yourselves / when I visit your area, /
and make any recommendations / or share any ideas you see fit. //
要 注 意 フ レ ー ズ !
トークは CEO の就任スピーチということで、かなり凝った表現が使われている。CEO になりきって、下線の部分に特に注意しながら堂々と音読しよう。
