What man is a man who does not make the world better ?

（大丈夫，当造福苍生。）

    影片的开头，这句话刻在巴里安的房梁上。预示着主人公注定会做些不平凡的事情，也算影片的一个主旨、基调吧。就像他父亲临终前的嘱咐“Defend the King.If the king is no more... protect the people.”

Be without fear in the face of your enemies.            （强敌当前，无畏不惧。）

Be brave and upright that God may love thee.            （果敢忠义，无愧上帝。）

Speak the truth always,even if it leads to your death.  （耿正直言，宁死不诳。）

Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.                 （保护弱者，无怪天理。）

这是巴里安被父亲授予骑士时的誓言。而他，在圣战骑士堕落的年代里，依然做到遵从自己的誓言。

How can you be in hell when you are in my heart ?

（你活在我心中，又怎会落入地狱？）

    这是巴里安在圣殿山上埋下自杀的妻子生前的十字架时默念的。前往耶路撒冷，本是为了跟随信仰，赎罪，而真正踏在这片土地上，却开始和信仰渐行渐远...（在基督教教义里，自杀的人死后要下地狱，因为人的生死只能由上帝决定。）

holiness...is in right action.

And courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.

（圣者，侠也。挺身而出，见义勇为，锄强扶弱。）

And goodness...what God desires...is here(mind) and here(heart).

（神者，仁也。在乎一念之间，一心之隔。）

By what you decide to do every day,you will be a good man...or not.

（君子与小人之分，在于平素。）

    当巴里安对信仰产生怀疑、不安时，一名长辈这样教导他。这不是宗教，这是“大丈夫”的境界，是顶天立地的近乎完美的骑士(such a rarity...as a perfect knight)的追求。

---- The whole world is in chess.Any move can be the death of you.

     Do anything except remain where you started...and you can't be sure of your end.

     Were you sure of your end once?

---- I was.

---- What is that?

---- To be buried a hundred yards from where Iwas born.

---- And now?

---- Now I sit in Jerusalem and look upon a king.

---- When I was 16 I won a great victory.I felt, in that moment , I would live to be 100.

     Now I know I shall not see 30.

     None of us know our end, really... or what hand will guide us there.

     （你看，人的命运全不由己。）

     A king may move a man.          （君令，或不可违。）

     A father may claim a son.       （父命，或不可逆。）

     That man can also move himself. （人仍可自主行动。）

     And only then does that man truly begin his own game.（只有这样才能开创自己的事业。）

     Remember , how so ever you are played...or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone...

 even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power.

    （即使处于王权之下，霸者之前，人，不可不问一己良知。）

     When you stand before God, you can't say..."But I was told by others to do thus."or that virtue was not convenient at the time.

    （当你在上帝面前时，你不可推说迫于无奈，不可推说当时是权宜之计。）

     This will not suffice. (推卸不得。）

     Remember that!

    这是耶路撒冷国王第一次与巴里安见面时的对话。二十几岁的国王仿佛充满智慧的老者般谆谆教诲着巴里安，我们的主人公在他面前像个稚嫩的孩子。

    我被这个身患麻风病的国王深深折服，虽然戴着面具，但他散发的从容、淡定、高贵的气质，令你只能仰视。
