But just as the world shapes religion, religion also shapes the world. And some modern historians might ignore religious motivations, but medieval crusaders sure as hell didn't.

但正如世界塑造了宗教，宗教也塑造了世界。一历史学家可能会忽略宗教动机，但中世十字军战士绝对不会。

Richard understood that the best chance to take Jerusalem involved first taking Egypt, but he couldn't convince any crusaders to join him because Egypt had a lot less religious value to Christians than Jerusalem.

To the Crusaders, they were taking up arms to protect Christ and his kingdom.

对于十字军战士而言，他们拿起武器是为了保护基督和他王国。

更糟是， 罗伯特凭借其十字军战士身份，在这片充满赤足游行和冗长布道异域新天地里， 一夜之间成了摇滚明星般焦点人物。

However, now that Bobby Shortpants had proven that going on crusade was easy, Well, getting some of that crusader glory would certainly be a feather in his cap.
