harrowing, birching, Eton College , Harrow School flogging

• Here’s a look at the harrowing journey out of Mariupol to safety.

現在我假設本文的推論是對的 而且胡適之先生在英國的著名"貴族"中學 (我知道的至少有3所)中只訪問過Eton College
他老人家過了30來年 在台北的徵信新聞的一篇談體罰的文之章說 (各校當時體罰細節可能類似)
這所也是邱吉爾先生上過的
我想這是胡先生記錯了
邱吉爾上的是Harrow School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

胡適之先生的鮮明記憶 雖然沒記在日記 卻鮮活地保留三十四年 參考下文圖
As at Eton schoolboy from 1853 to 1857, Bracebridge Heming was all too familiar with the frequent castigations administered by heavy-handed masters. On page 403 of Sir H. C. Maxwell Lyte’s A History of Eton College (1440-1898), published by Macmillan & Co., Ltd., London, 1899, appears a woodcut of the infamous birch and block upon which so many boys suffered.
