编者按/精读指导(B)： 从今天开始我们进入《哈利波特与混血王子》英语原著的泛读与精读学习，Lesson 1选自英文版 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince第1章第14页，在本课中新任魔法部部长鲁弗斯·斯克林杰（Rufus Scrimgeour）出场，第一段从政府首相的角度描述的相貌，这是本课我们的一个学习重点，如何描写好一个人的相貌。
本课学习中，我们需要重点掌握下列单词、固定短语：rim，shortly，go down to business，draw yourself up/rise to your full height，get rid of sb，hotly 。这些词有的是固定短语，有的是我们常见的词汇，但是它们的义项和我们想想的有所不同。
shortly ‘没好气地; 不耐烦地’： “ ‘I’d rather not be interrupted，’ said Scrimgeour shortly，‘or watched’ (2014f，14)”。
shortly ‘开始做某事；开始认真注意[或对待]某事’在《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》中给出了要给和课文完全一样的例子：Let’s get down to business. (咱们开始干正事吧/开门见山) [2014f: 14]。
get rid of sb /sth在《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》中给出‘摆脱；丢弃；扔掉’含义，列在动词rid词条下；在<Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary> (fourth edition) 中给出这个短语，列在形容词词条下：get rid of sb [C1] to send away someone annoying or to persuade them to leave. [2014f: 14] 。
hotly含义为‘愤怒地；激动地；强烈地’： “‘I’m not getting rid of Kingsley Shacklebolt，if that’s what you’re suggesting!’ said the Prime Minister (2014f，14)”。
The Prime Minister’s first，foolish thought was that Rufus Scrimgeour

《哈利波特》精读系类之编者按/精读指导(A)：成人英语学习应该有更多的主动性，在高中英语的基础上，应该尽快进入英语原著和英文报纸的阅读，这样才能尽快的提升英语水平。因为英语原著和英语报纸，不同于中学的考试，其中的内容都是英语的实际应用。我会和朋友们一起分享英语原著《哈利波特》7册的内容和中国日报(China Daily)上面的英文报道。我们本着共享的理念，以“雅思6.5及之上的考生英语阅读水平”来编辑《哈利波特英语词典》，其中也会收录中学英语课本的一些单词。用《哈利波特英语词典》里面收录的单词来为《中国日报》等阅读文章做单词表。我们会认真精讲7册《哈利波特》中每一页，制出相对对应的单词表。
就我们初级英语课程而言，我们目前有两个工作目标：一是编写《哈利波特英语词典》，单词收录量为2到3万；二是编写《博雅英语阅读文库·中国日报1000篇》。我们有三级英语课程，初级英语课程为《哈利波特》7册的内容和中国日报(China Daily) 、《乔布斯传》、《马斯克传》等英语原著，以训练学生流畅地阅读英语小说、英语报刊杂志和按照英语习惯顺畅地写作为目标；中级英语课程为英语学术训练，能流畅地阅读英语学术著作，如 A New History of Western Philosophy，并能够书写规范的学术论文；高级英语课程是以了解通过英语来学习文化，学习莎士比亚等英美名家著作、英文版的《圣经》、《易经》等等，目的是更加深入地了解英语背后的文明和中华文明等，让英语学习不仅仅止于语言，要上升到文明的角度来学习英语和用英语来学习。我们认可这样的理念“语言和宗教是定义一个文明的核心标志”。我们的课程有三个立足点，一、高中毕业的英语水平；二、有学习的主动性；三、雅思最低成绩6.5。
