编者按/精读指导(B)：
今天我们学习《哈利波特与混血王子》Lesson 9，选自英文版 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince[第23章 Horcruxes]第415-419页，本课内容有5页，描写校长邓布利多（Dumbledore）给哈利第5次上课的内容。在Lesson 8我们了解到在魔药的帮助下，哈利终于取得了Slughorn隐藏的记忆——魂器的制作方法，这是消灭伏地魔的关键所在。魂器（Horcruxes）不仅是《哈利波特与混血王子》这部书的一条主线，也是整个《哈利波特》系列的一条主线。伏地魔的复活和消灭伏地魔的七个魂器（等于消灭伏地魔）是《哈利波特》系列的一条主线。
魂器图片
第一册《魔法石》伏地魔杀哈利，是无意中制造了一个魂器（这个信息在第7册《死亡圣器》中才会披露），第2册《密室》日记本也是一个魂器。在第4册《火焰杯》大蛇杀看门老头使大蛇成为一个魂器，这是在魂器概念没有出现之前，三次有关魂器的故事，只有了解了本课和7册《死亡圣器》中关于魂器的理论，我们才能更好的理解这些故事，这也显示了作者罗琳老师高潮故事情节设置能力。
在Lesson 9中校长邓布利多（Dumbledore）告诉哈利瑞德（Riddle）的日记本也是一个魂器，这就为《密室》中哈利用蛇牙杀死日记本做了圆满的解释。魔法石在伏地魔眼里不如魂器，因为魔法石或长生不老药水需要定期服用，有依赖此种药物的劣势，这不符合伏地魔特立独行的性格特征。在本课中Dumbledore有意给哈利制造了一个假信息，伏地魔制造了6个魂器，他的第七份灵魂藏在他再生的身体里（not seven Horcuxes: six the seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body [2014f, 418]），这或许是为了安慰哈利，或许是作者为了让情节更引人入胜在《死亡圣器》中对哈利是第7个魂器这个惊人信息再做披露。
Dumbledore也告诉哈利他手受伤的原因是消灭伏地魔的一个魂器——马沃罗(Marvolo)的戒指。接着Dumbledore用7份魂器的假设在分析魂器的情况，第七个魂器（第七份灵魂）在伏地魔的再生身体中，日记本和戒指这两个魂器已经被消灭，其余的四个魂器在哪里呢？这是我们下节课要学习的内容。
我们综合本章（第23章魂器）来看看魂器的概念：魂器是指隐藏一个人部分灵魂的物体，为了不死，保存生命，一个人可以分裂他/她的灵魂，把部分灵魂藏在身体外的物体中。如果这个人被攻击或破坏，这个人可以不死，因为他/她的灵魂还留在世上、没有被完全破坏。灵魂应该保持完整，分裂灵魂是违反人性的破坏行为。通过谋杀这一超级罪恶行为，可以分裂灵魂。一个想做魂器的巫师利用谋杀来制造魂器，把灵魂碎片封存起来。
灵魂分裂成七份，与中国的三魂七魄理论从数字上讲比较吻合，质上有所不同，小道藏《云笈七签》上讲，道家谓人有三魂：一曰胎光，二曰爽灵，三曰幽精；人有七魄，各有明目。第一魄名尸狗，第二魄名伏矢，第三魄名雀阴，第四魄名吞贼，第五魄名非毒，第六魄名除秽，第七魄名臭肺。将来有机会我们再作分析比较。
本课学习需要掌握词汇：feature, listen in (on/to sth), plant, stumble across/on/upon sth/sb。这几个词汇是常见的，但是它们的义项与我们直观想象的不同。
feature [ˈfiːtʃə(r)] n: [usually pl.] a part of sb’s face such as their nose, mouth and eyes. (面容得一部分[如鼻、口、眼]) [T]he sort of happiness that did not enhance his handsome features, but made them, somehow, less human (2014f, 415).
listen in (on/to sth): (窃听；偷听；监听) Harry suddenly noticed that every single one of the old headmasters and headmistresses in nthe portraits around the walls was awake and listening in on their conversation (2014f, 415).
plant [plɑːnt] v: ~ sth (on sb) ([给某人]栽[赃]) [2014f: 416]
stumble across/on/upon sth/sb: to discover sth/sb unexpectedly. (意外发现；偶然遇见) [2014f: 419]
在《哈利波特与混血王子》精读中，我们计划学习 Snape的第一节黑魔法防御术课（Lesson 6）、第一节魔药课、校长给哈利上的第一节课（伏地魔的母亲的恋爱史）、第三节课（Lesson 7）、第五节课魂器（Lesson 8 & Lesson 9 & Lesson 10）、哈利长吻金妮（哈利的第二次恋爱）、混血王子是谁、邓布利多之死、邓布利多的葬礼、幻影现形课。
第二轮《哈利波特》7册精读训练，7个圣诞节会是我们的一个学习重点。

2. 英语口语训练：魂器（日记本和戒指）
3. 坚持每天掌握1到2个生词，风雨无阻，天天坚持。
《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。
关于英语学习方法，请大家参考我在2022年2月28日所写的“英语学习方法论（一）”。这篇文章是基于我们近期《哈利波特与凤凰社》泛读和精读43课，以及《中国日报》泛读和153篇精读文章所写。
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。
