※Even in the modern era manyhistories of the crusades written by ‘western’ scholars have been colored(consciously or unconsciously) by a degree of bias, because most present thisera from a Christian point. This innate partially might manifest itselfrelatively subtly-in the decision to describe the outcome of a battle as avictory or defeat, a triumph or disaster. In this accountant, which is dividedinto five part, I have made a deliberate to counteract this tendency byswitching the point of view from western European Christian to Near EasternMuslim in each major section. The book’s core, covering the Third Crusade,alternates between its two major protagonists-Saladin and Richard theLionheart.
※很多现代西方学者撰写的十字军历史都有意或无意的带有一种在学术上将其神化的感情色彩，因为当代关于这一问题的研究多是站在基督教世界的角度。这种先天存在的问题在部分程度上可能证明其自身相对的过分追求细致的阐述一场胜利或失败的战役、一次凯旋或者灾难带来的后果。这本书将这段历史分为五个部分。我经过深思熟虑，决定通过在西欧基督教世界和近东穆斯林世界之间转变视角去除前文所提到的那种倾向。这本书的核心内容是解密第三次十字军东征，并且视角将在双方的两位主要领导人——萨拉丁和狮心王理查之间转换。

楼主哪里有卖译本?

赞

狮心王理查

人家穆斯林都开始玩飞行器后多少年基督才开始教嬉皮士玩颓废

伊斯兰拿耶路撒冷当圣地的理由真是崩溃
居然是“耶路撒冷是先知参观天堂路过的地方”。。。 。。。
这倒也罢了，关键是先知升天就升天吧，为啥非要路过耶路撒冷。。。。。。

MEDIVAL EUROPE
中世纪的欧洲
Inthe year 1000, the country of Anjou (in western-central France) was ruled by FulkNerra (987-1040), a brutal and rapacious warlord. Fulk spent most of hisfifty-three years in power locked in near-constant struggle: fighting on everyfront to retain control of his unruly country; scheming to reserve hisindependence from the feeble French monarchy and preying upon his neighbors insearch of land and plunder. He was a man accustomed to violence, both on andoff the battlefield-capable of burning his wife at the stake for adultery and oforchestrating the ruthless murder of a royal courtier.
公元1000年，安茹郡（位于法国中西部）正处于福克·内拉，一个冷酷无情、贪得无厌的军事领主的统治之下。福克把他掌权的五十三年的绝大部分时间消耗于近乎于无休止的争斗中：他在周边每一条战线上同敌人战斗，以保持他对不守规矩的领地的控制；还企图保持在孱弱的法国王权的统治之下的独立并且为了领土和劫掠财富不断地袭扰他周边的领主。他是一个不论在战时还是平时都习惯用暴力处理问题的人。他因为他的妻子与他人通奸并策划而把她绑在木桩子上烧死，并策划了一场针对一位宫廷大臣的谋杀案。

错误更正：
1.“marching beside forbidding Templar knights”，楼主第一次翻译为“离开了令人生畏的圣殿骑士团进行远征”。楼主把“march beside”的意思理解错了。圣殿骑士团事实上参与了第三次十字军东征。现更正为“与冷酷无情的圣殿骑士团一同远征”。
2.“Those who died were thought of as martyrs, while survivors believedthat their souls had been scourged of sin by the tempest of combat and trailsof pilgrimage.”楼主第一次翻译为“当那些幸存者认为他们的灵魂由于这些暴风雨般的战斗和朝圣之旅而违背宗教受到了惩罚时，那些死去的人被认为是烈士。”经吧友@平田元帅 指正，楼主修改了其中翻译腔较重的部分，改为“那些战死者们常被生还者们视为殉教者，因为他们相信死者的灵魂都经受住了猛烈战斗以及朝圣之旅的审判”。
3.楼主把“the country of Anjou”翻译为安茹郡。county的英文本意是指英国的郡和美国的县（郡），由于楼主不懂法语，在翻译中照搬了这个词的英文意思。经吧友@平田元帅 指正，将此错误改为“安茹伯爵领”。在此特别感谢吧友@平田元帅 。楼主不才，译作之中必有不少纰漏之处。欢迎各位吧友多多批评指正，在下感激不尽！

笔译札记

楼主这两天感冒发烧了，身体不适，今日起恢复更新

As western Europeans began to look beyond their early medieval horizons, the forces of commerce and conquest brought them into closer contact with the wider world, and with the great civilizations of the Mediterranean: the ancient ‘eastern Roman’ Byzantine Empire and the sprawling Arab-Islamic world. These long-established ‘superpowers’ were historic centers of wealth, culture and military might. As such, they tended to regard the West as little more than a barbarian backwater-the dismal homeland of savage tribesman who might be fierce fighters, but were essentially just an uncontrollable rabble, and thus posed no real threat. The coming of the crusades would help to overturn this dynamic, even as it confirmed many of these prejudices.
当西欧人开始探索其所处的早期中世纪以外的世界时，经济贸易和军事征服的力量促使他们同更广阔的世界，特别是伟大的地中海文明——古老的东罗马-拜占庭帝国和新兴的游牧文明——阿拉伯-伊斯兰世界建立了联系。这些长期存在的‘超级大国’曾经是历史上著名的经济、文化和军事力量的中心。因此，他们倾向于将西欧视作一个野蛮人居住的落后世界——一个充斥着热衷于同室操戈的暴民的阴暗世界，最重要的是这些勇于私斗、难以控制的的暴民并不对外部的世界构成真正的威胁。十字军东征将会有助于改变西欧这种各自为政的状况，甚至加深东方对西方的偏见。
