哈利波特英文原版讀書筆記;哈利·波特英文版讀書筆記

編者按/精讀指導(B)： Lesson 5選自英文版 第85-87頁[第5章 An Excess of Phlegm]，本課內容有3頁（實際上是2頁+1/3頁文字），主要是描寫普通巫師等級考試(O.W.L.s: Ordinary Wizarding Levels’ examination)的考試結果。在第5冊《鳳凰社》的精讀中，我們學習過O.W.L.s內容，在本課學習中，我們會看到哈利、羅恩（Ron）、赫敏（Hermione）三人的考試結果。從文章寫作的角度看，先寫大家迫切地等待貓頭鷹送考試結果，接著把哈利一個人考試結果展示出來，Ron 和Hermione考試結果是通過討論來展示的，重點寫了哈利對考試結果的心理描寫，然后通過Ron興奮的話語和哈利的心理描述，把Ron 和Hermione考試結果寫出來。最后兩段描寫哈利心中的微微失望，因為魔藥學考試結果E沒有達到Snape 教授的要求，可能會影響哈利將來做傲羅（Auror）的職業目標。

在詞匯學習方面，注意掌握：halfway, run, sinking的使用.

halfway ‘在···的中間；在中途；到一半’，作為副詞使用，經常與through連用：He had had no chance of passing History of Magic, given that he had collapsed halfway through the examination (2014f, 86).

run ‘移動[某物]’,在本課我們學習動詞的一個新義項，它在課文中表示手指在成績單上移動：He ran his finger down the grades.... he had passed well in Transfiguration and Herbology, he had even Exceeded Expectations at Potions!

Sinking在本課中是把a/that sinking feeling ‘不詳的感覺；沮喪之情’這個固定用法變形使用：He had known all along that he wouldn’t, but he still felt a sinking in his stomach as he looked again at that small black ‘E’ (2014f, 86-87).

She gripped both Harry and Ron tightly around the elbows.

Lesson 5 [2014f: 85-87] 作業：

1. 參考Harry的成績單, 制作Ron and Hermione普通巫師等級考試(O.W.L.s)的考試結果.

2. 查找《哈利波特》在本課之前提到N.E.W.T.s (終極巫師考試)的例子。

3. 堅持每天掌握1到2個生詞，風雨無阻，天天堅持。

《哈利波特》精讀系類之編者按/精讀指導(A)：成人英語學習應該有更多的主動性，在高中英語的基礎上，應該盡快進入英語原著和英文報紙的閱讀，這樣才能盡快的提升英語水平。因為英語原著和英語報紙，不同于中學的考試，其中的內容都是英語的實際應用。我會和朋友們一起分享英語原著《哈利波特》7冊的內容和中國日報(China Daily)上面的英文報道。我們本著共享的理念，以“雅思6.5及之上的考生英語閱讀水平”來編輯《哈利波特英語詞典》，其中也會收錄中學英語課本的一些單詞。用《哈利波特英語詞典》里面收錄的單詞來為《中國日報》等閱讀文章做單詞表。我們會認真精講7冊《哈利波特》中每一頁，制出相對對應的單詞表。

關于英語學習方法，請大家參考我在2022年2月28日所寫的“英語學習方法論（一）”。這篇文章是基于我們近期《哈利波特與鳳凰社》泛讀和精讀43課，以及《中國日報》泛讀和153篇精讀文章所寫。

就我們初級英語課程而言，我們目前有兩個工作目標：一是編寫《哈利波特英語詞典》，單詞收錄量為2到3萬；二是編寫《博雅英語閱讀文庫·中國日報1000篇》。我們有三級英語課程，初級英語課程為《哈利波特》7冊的內容和中國日報(China Daily) 、《喬布斯傳》、《馬斯克傳》等英語原著，以訓練學生流暢地閱讀英語小說、英語報刊雜志和按照英語習慣順暢地寫作為目標；中級英語課程為英語學術訓練，能流暢地閱讀英語學術著作，如 ，并能夠書寫規范的學術論文；高級英語課程是以了解通過英語來學習文化，學習莎士比亞等英美名家著作、英文版的《圣經》、《易經》等等，目的是更加深入地了解英語背后的文明和中華文明等，讓英語學習不僅僅止于語言，要上升到文明的角度來學習英語和用英語來學習。我們認可這樣的理念“語言和宗教是定義一個文明的核心標志”。我們的課程有三個立足點，一、高中畢業的英語水平；二、有學習的主動性；三、雅思最低成績6.5。
