English term or phrase: trip chain
Qualcuno di voi sa come si chiama una catena che veniva attaccata alle gambe di uno schiavo? io ho "trip chain".
grazie

davide
ceppi
Explanation:
CEPPI: pl. arnesi di legno tra i quali si serravano i piedi dei prigionieri | (fig.) prigionia, servitù: liberarsi dai ceppi

Anche se "di legno" no va molto con "catene".

Comunque, sarebbe megio se ci dessi il contesto. Vedi questo:
The series of trips made by the individual often form a closed sequence that starts and ends at the home base, which is called a (home-based) ****trip chain****. Likewise one may make a work-based ****trip chain**** when one makes a trip from the workplace to, e.g., a nearby restaurant for lunch, visits a corner grocery store, then returns to the workplace.

catene


Explanation:
Non mi risulta che ci sia una traduzione tanto specifica. Si parla sempre di "schiavi in catene". Poi, a seconda del contesto, puoi specificare che servivano per gli spostamenti o quanto altro...
