Japanese/English

こんな恐い夢を見ちゃいました。登場人物が全員フランス人だったみたいなので、本当は全文フランス語で訳出したかったのですが、英語でご容赦ください。

どうして最近、この手の恐ろしい夢ばかり見るのか、不思議です。

Several students were sitting around the table put in the center of a dusty and gloomy room. They were just chatting without food or drink.
--- Do you know they built a new factory near here ?, said Jeanne.
--- What kind of factory ?, asked Antoine.
--- Are you serious ? Didn't you know that ?, answered Jeanne.
--- No..., said Antoine.
--- It's a factory making cosmetics, said Cristophe.
--- And what ?, said Antoine, apparently disappointed with the triviality of the topic.

--- What's that ?, asked Antoine.

--- Stop! stop it! said Cristophe & George laughing out loud.
--- I'm sure I can get heavenly intoxicated with a tiny cup of Wonder Magic Lotion, frolicked Jeanne.
--- A votre sante! Cristophe & George raised an invisible cup.
--- A la votre! Jeanne take a sip of the skin lotion.
Jeanne suddenly collapsed there with the bottle in her hand, turing up the whites of the eyes.
--- Jeanne! cried Antoine.
--- Here I've resurrected! Jeanne seemed to imitate a charming zombie.
--- Carrying the joke too far... Antoine murmured, burying his head in his hands.
The next moment, Jeanne vomited all she had eaten with dark red blood and after falling into a fit of convulsions with her whole body, she got silent for good...
