Not addicted to gluttony or drunkenness, this people who incur no expense in food or dress, and whose minds are always bent upon the defence of their country, and on the means of plunder, are wholly employed in the care of their horses and furniture.

  • -- Giraldus Cambrensis 吉拉度

这些人既不贪食,也不酗酒,他们衣食无忧,一心一意保卫自己的国家,一心一意掠夺财物,他们把全部精力都用在照料马匹和家具上。
