The saracens of the desert captured jerusalem . 沙漠地区的撒拉逊人占领了耶路撒冷。
Soon after this, richard made a truce with the saracens . 这事过后不久,理查就和撒拉逊人停战和好。
The saracens were stopped in 732 in poitiers by charles martel , grand father of charlemagne , a rather rough warior who was later painted as a national hero 而撒拉逊人则在732年被查理?马特(查理曼大帝伟大的父亲,一个相当勇猛的勇士,一个后来被视为民族英雄的人物)阻止在普瓦捷城。
“ by the cross of my sword , ” he said , laying his hand on the weapon as he spoke , “ i will be true companion to thee , saracen , while our fortune wills that we remain in company together “凭这剑的十字架起誓, ”他把手放在剑上说, “我将做你的忠实旅伴,撒拉逊人,既然命运要求我们相处在一起。 ”
Six years before the normans successfully conquered england , their first true island invasion was launched against the saracens that occupied sicily . . . with more than a little encouragement from the papacy 诺曼人的第一次岛屿征服是在他们征服英格兰的六年前,他们得到教宗的大力支持,从海路攻击占领西西里的撒拉逊人(阿拉伯人) 。
The saracen was just aware of the formidable missile in time to interpose his light buckler betwixt the mace and his head ; but the violence of the blow forced the buckler down on his turban , and though that defence also contributed to deaden its violence , the saracen was beaten from his horse 撒拉逊人刚好感觉到有厉害的东西向白己飞来,举起小圆盾一挡,但锤的来势太猛,把那面盾重重地压在他的头巾上了,虽说减轻了锤的力量,却把他打下马来。
The saracen came on at the speedy gallop of an arab horseman , managing his steed more by his limbs , and the inflection of his body , than by any use of the reins , which hung loose in his left hand ; so that he was enabled to wield the light round buckler of the skin of the rhinoceros , ornamented with silver loops , which he wore on his arm , swinging it as if he meant to oppose its slender circle to the formidable thrust of the western lance 撒拉逊人用阿拉伯骑士惯常的高速冲来,他靠移动身子操纵坐骑,很少动用松松地挂在腕上的缰绳,空出来的左手拿着一面包着犀牛皮的圆盾,盾上的银环套在他的臂上,现在他晃着这面小盾,象是要靠它来抵挡西方人长矛的猛刺。
