1
According to a story from Africa, a long time ago the sun and the bat were good friends.
2
They were seen together all the time.
3
They shared their dreams as well as their problems.
4
One day, the moon and the sun began talking about who was stronger.
5
The moon said she was stronger.
6
The sun did not agree with her.
7
They argued, I am stronger.
8
No, I am stronger.
9
No, I am.
10
And so on.
11
Finally, they decided to have a contest.
12
After a couple of days, they planned to meet at the lake to see who could throw a rock the farthest across the lake.
13
A lot of animals came from all over the world to the lake to watch the contest.
14
They came early because they knew that the contest could start at any time.
15
The moon arrived at the lake first.
16
She wanted to win, so she practiced before the sun arrived.
17
She picked up rocks one at a time and threw them.
18
Each time the rocks went farther and farther.
19
By the time the sun finally arrived at the lake, the moon was sure she could win.
20
The moon chose a rock and threw it.
21
It landed near the other side of the lake.
22
The sun chose a bigger rock and threw it.
23
Near the middle of the lake, the sun's rock began to fall toward the water.
24
But all of a sudden, it began to go up again.
25
The sun's rock went all the way to the other side of the lake.
26
It seemed that the sun had won the contest after all.
27
However, nobody knew that the bat was carrying the rock.
28
When the bat was sure that no one could see him, he stopped to rest between a pair of banana trees.
29
His wings were tired.
30
It was difficult carrying the heavy rock, but he was happy to help the sun.
31
That's what friends are for, thought the bat.
32
Many years later, the bat's mother died.
33
Above all, the bat wanted his mother to have a nice grave.
34
The bat worked all day, but he was not finished by the time the sun began to go down.
35
The bat asked for a favor from the sun.
36
Can you stay up until I finish my mother's grave?
37
The sun refused.
38
Again and again the bat begged, but the sun said it was time for him to go down.
39
The bat was very angry.
40
The sun did not help him, even though he had helped the sun.
41
When the moon came up, she saw the bat still working hard on his mother's grave.
42
The moon gave the bat enough light to finish his work.
43
As a result, the bat and the moon became good friends.
44
That's why today you will never see the bat near the sun.
45
He is always with his friend, the moon.
46
Thank you.

逐步跟读指南
要提高您的英语口语水平，尤其是对于这个视频中的内容，可以采用以下“shadow speak”方法：
- 观看视频：首先，看YouTube学英语，注意故事的叙述和情感转换。
- 分段练习：将视频分成小段落，尝试逐句模仿发音和语调。初次时可适当降低语速。
- 重复跟读：收听每个句子，并在之后进行跟读，确保发音和节奏接近原声。
- 录音回放：将自己跟读的声音录下来，然后和原视频进行对比，逐步调整发音。
- 加深理解：不止停留在发音，理解故事的含义，以及角色之间的关系，增强文化背景的理解。
通过以上方法，您将能够更好地掌握语言的节奏与表达方式，从而在提升口语能力的同时，享受学习的乐趣。在我们的shadowing site上，您可以找到更多类似的视频资源，帮助您在语言学习的旅程中不断前进。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
