中文翻译
[法] 浸水刑凳
英文解释
A kind of chair formerly used for punishing scolds,
and also dishonest tradesmen, by fastening them in it, usually in front
of their doors, to be pelted and hooted at by the mob, but sometimes to
be taken to the water and ducked; -- called also a castigatory, a
tumbrel, and a trebuchet; and often, but not so correctly, a ducking
stool.
