1
This is the oldest standing church in continual use in the Holy Land.
2
It's 1 ,449 years old.
3
It's amazing to me.
4
This is the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
5
And as old as it is, it's the second such Christian church built on this same site.
6
The first building, built by Roman Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena in the 4th century,
7
was burned and destroyed when the Samaritans rose up against the Byzantine Empire in the mid -500s.
8
But shortly thereafter, Roman Emperor Justinian began rebuilding this, the current structure, in 556 A .D.
9
Modified over the years, it is said to have retained the architectural tone of the original church building as built by Constantine himself.
10
But, look, a piece of the old church survived.
11
You can still see this large remnants of the floor from Constantine's original construction.
12
This dates back to 339 A .D., which makes it 1 ,675 years young, as Grandad would say.
13
Now this surviving piece of the original floor was rediscovered in 1934 while they were doing some repair work.
14
It's craftsmanship is amazing.
15
According to very early tradition, Mary gave birth to Jesus in a cave just beneath this altar.
16
Now, this cave, or grotto, as it's known here in the church, is marked by a 14 -point silver star.
17
Now, as the genealogy of Jesus is described in the Gospel of Matthew, the 14 points of this star represent the 14 generations from Abraham to David,
18
14 from David to the Babylonian exile of the Jewish people, and 14 from the exile to the birth of Jesus.
19
Now, the tradition that Jesus was born here dates back to the first century, having been a pilgrimage site for many early Christians.
20
In fact, Christian apologist Justin Martyr, who lived from 100 to 165 A .D., along with other church fathers,
21
identifies this as the site for Jesus' birth.
22
We'll be right back.

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。
