英语词汇keelhauling的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	keelhauling
词源	keelhauling; keelraking. Keelhauling today means merely a tongue-lashing from a superior, hardly a punishment compared to the original keelhauling used as a discipline for Dutch sailors in the 16th century. Erring Dutch sailors, and later seamen in many other navies, were keelhauled by being tied to the yard- arm, weighted down, and then hauled by a rope under the ves- sel from side to side. Sometimes they suffered an even more dreaded punishment, being keelraked, or hauled under the ship from stem to stern.
