So, might it be the case that even the best trained housecarl, their skills have not been, as it were, honed in competition?

因，可能即使最精良训练的housecarl，其技艺也未曾在竞争中得到充分磨砺，相较之下，他们的诺曼同则更为精进？

So that's what you were saying, that even though Harold and his housecarls have been fighting, the mass of people in England are not organized for warfare in the way that the Normans are.

这就你所说的意思吧， 尽管哈罗德和他的亲兵一直在战斗，但英格兰的大多没有像诺曼那样被组织起来进战争。
