After the Roman Empire devolved into the Dark Ages, barbarians sacked and burned the cities of the civilized world.后罗马帝国的下放进入黑暗的中世纪，野蛮人被解职，并焚烧城市的文明世界。 As the libraries, the temples and the churches burned, the collective history and the great scientific and mathematical advances of past civilizations went up in smoke.作为图书馆，寺庙和教会烧死，集体的历史和伟大的科学和数学的进步，过去文明的上升，而在黑烟。

Meanwhile, a Roman living in Britain named Patricius was captured and taken to Ireland.与此同时，罗马居住在英国名为patricius被抓，并被带到爱尔兰。 He escaped from slavery to become a priest.他逃脱从奴隶制到成为一名牧师。 He returned to Ireland, bringing with him the word of God and the knowledge of the ancients.他回到爱尔兰，带着神的话语和知识的古人。 Thus, Ireland became the sanctuary for the thoughts and dreams of Western civilization.因此，爱尔兰成为庇护所的想法和梦想的西方文明。

Patricius founded a network of seminaries and libraries in Ireland that protected, preserved and advanced the knowledge that had been lost everywhere else. patricius创办了一家网络神学院和图书馆在爱尔兰，保护，保存和先进的知识已经失去了世界各地。 Patricius died long before Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. patricius去世之前很久欧洲出现了从黑暗的中世纪。 His legacy, however, lived on in the Irish intellectuals who became known after the Dark Ages ended.他的遗产，然而，居住在爱尔兰的知识分子，谁成为已知后，黑暗的中世纪结束。

These learned Irish–girded with the knowledge of the ancient world, bearing illuminated manuscripts written by hand, and with the intellectual fervor of scholars–went forth to spread the word of God and to plant the seeds of scholarship that later founded great universities in Paris, Oxford, Rome and Bologna.这些据悉，爱尔兰- girded与知识的古代世界，同时发亮的手稿写的，另一方面，与知识界热情的学者-到了传播天主的圣言和植物的种子奖学金，后来成立了伟大的大学在巴黎，牛津大学，罗马和博洛尼亚。

Did you guess that Patricius was later to be known as Saint Patrick?你猜patricius后来被称为圣帕特里克？ Not all Irish are drunken louts in green hats wearing Kiss Me * I’m Irish buttons.并非所有的爱尔兰是醉酒louts在绿色的帽子，身穿吻我*我爱尔兰按钮。
