Previously on Solar Balls...
2
Uh...
3
A lot has happened, guys!
4
All you need to know is, the Sun and the planets are coming back to the solar system and things will go back to normal once more.
5
Or.. will they?
6
It's been a week since the Sun left.
7
How are you holding up, Earth?
8
Well, the oceans have begun to freeze, the atmosphere is becoming dense,
9
all plant life is slowly dying, So.. pretty good.
10
How about you, Luna?
11
We need the sun now!
12
I know.
13
I think we may have to accept that the solar system is over, Luna.
14
Hey!
15
Don't say that!
16
I'm trying to be realistic!
17
Everyone's gone!
18
The sun, the planets...
19
After everything that's happened, there is no way...
20
Oops!
21
Sorry, Earth!
22
Didn't mean to - You're back!
23
You're back!
24
Everyone is back!
25
You gotta tell me every - Ahem!
26
You guys, the solar system has been frozen in place for quite some time, so...
27
I need you all to go back to your orbits.
28
Oh, sure!
29
Hey, Mercury!
30
Listen, don't worry.
31
I'll stay in my orbit.
32
We all will but I was gonna say thank you for coming to our aid when we needed you
33
We'll never take you for granted again And everyone come here for a sec
34
Quick.
35
Guys...
36
You don't...
37
Need...
38
To stay in your orbits all the time.
39
Bro!
40
Am I dreaming?!
41
No way the sun's saying this.
42
You're all grown -ups, you can all take care of yourselves, and...
43
And I will probably always prefer you all staying in your orbits as much as possible, but...
44
I can be more flexible.
45
I failed you, Jupiter.
46
From the beginning, 4 .5 billion years ago, I failed all of you.
47
I was so scared of the idea of losing you that I pushed everyone away.
48
And then I believed I knew better just because I'm bigger.
49
But I don't.
50
You're all just as smart.
51
I mean it.
52
Now I do want to lay some ground rules if you'll allow me. That is so weird.
53
Uh, of course, son.
54
Thank you!
55
Now, leaving your orbit can be one of the most destructive, devastating things for the entire balance of the solar system.
56
You may end up drifting towards me, or away from me, or into another planet.
57
And while our good friend the Earth comes from a planetary collision, I don't want to lose any of you ever again.
58
Huh, look at our boy opening up, Luna.
59
We did good, didn't we?
60
However, the effects that I mention only take place after many, many years.
61
Which means, as long as you return to your orbit after a reasonable amount of time, it should.. be.. okay!
62
Wait, seriously?
63
We can leave our orbits?
64
Yes, Mercury?
65
You?
66
Woohoo!
67
I guess we can finally play some solar cards?
68
Finally!
69
Heh!
70
Prepare to lose Earth!
71
Come on moons!
72
I want to celebrate!
73
Let's do it Saturn.
74
I guess now I can hang out with you near the Carver Belt.
75
Yay!
76
Wanna go draw faces on some asteroids?
77
You know it might!
78
There's more rules to - This is fine.
79
Hey!
80
Hey, Jupiter!
81
Sun?
82
Hi!
83
I don't know what miracle made you change, but...
84
I'm glad.
85
Yeah!
86
Heh heh!
87
It wasn't easy.
88
I guess there's an ego that comes with being the biggest.
89
But it also comes with a responsibility to lead.
90
Not by force, but by example.
91
Otherwise, it's all just...
92
chaos.
93
I know.
94
GrandTac, you destroying those rocky planets when you migrate in orbits.
95
It wasn't your fault.
96
Huh?
97
Come on, son.
98
I know we're all happy here, but no need to lie.
99
I'm not!
100
The GrandTac was my doing too.
101
My gravity affects everything way more than yours.
102
If we'd worked together and I would have listened, maybe things would have gone different.
103
You were a kid, Jupiter.
104
Son, don't...
105
Let's count on each other from now on, okay?
106
You can always talk to me.
107
Always.
108
Hey Earthlings!
109
It's your neighbor planet Mars.
110
Today I wanted to thank you for watching our show and...
111
Can we help with the promo?
112
Pleeeeease?
113
Thank you!
114
Ahem!
115
Our production team is starving!
116
Yes!
117
Starving!
118
No, no, that's not true.
119
Come on, guys.
120
No need to - So if you want to help them not starve, then consider supporting our show!
121
Pretty please!
122
We have a super cool page beyond where you can get early episodes, learn tons of secrets about the future of the show, and have your name in the credits!
123
This way your name will outlive you!
124
legacy way beyond the cosmic death of the universe!
125
So hurry up before that happens!
126
What?
127
Deimos, you can't say things like - We also have a cute little star!
128
Haha!
129
Check it out! So cute!
130
Look at those plushies!
131
I want all of them now!
132
And of course, there's this fun little game our planet likes to play called Solar Cards!
133
You can play it with your friends and family while you learn about space!
134
Or, you know, collect them all!
135
Every...
136
Single...
137
One of them!
138
Anyways, that's the promo!
139
Anything you'd like to add, Mars?
140
Nope.
141
Hey, son.
142
Hey, Mercury.
143
Listen, no need to be back in your orbit so soon.
144
Nah, this is where I want to be right now. So...
145
I guess things are all back to normal now?
146
Ha!
147
Yeah?
148
Feels like the old days, doesn't it?
149
Well, what are the old days without some sun puns?
150
Come on, I know you hate them.
151
If I'm being honest, I miss them.
152
You mean it?
153
You're not.. burned out?
154
I'm not-- Oh!
155
Ha!
156
Ha!
157
Ha!
158
Ha!
159
Ha!
160
That one took me a sec.
161
You are, son.
162
You are getting better.
163
What now?
164
What do you mean?
165
I mean, after everything that's happened, it's weird that we just end up right where we started.
166
I mean, yeah.
167
Except for the fact that we're the Rogue Planet King's most wanted enemy
168
and we can't leap past the Orc Cloud or they'll attack us with all their might.
169
But if you forget that little fact, we're fine.
170
Look, the day will come when we'll have no choice but to deal with the Rogues.
171
But for now, in peace and quiet.
172
Agreed!
173
All I want is to spend time with my planets, and nobody else a week early by joining.
174
And check out our Solar Balls store for exclusive plushies and solar cards.
175
Also, you can now watch Solar Balls as an episodic show on Amazon Prime Video in the US.
176
See you there!
177
I'm going to go to the next one.
178
Oh

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
