Note: Comfortable chairs for reading, particularly 18th-century armchairs with padded, leather-covered, saddle-shaped seats and an adjustable platform to hold a book projecting from the back; designed so that the occupant may either sit on it in a normal way or straddle the seat facing the back. For adjustable reading platforms that are not attached to chairs, use "reading desks." For backward-facing chairs intended for viewing card games, use "voyeuses." |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 供閱讀的舒適椅子,尤指十八世紀時,具裝有填料、覆以皮革,馬鞍形椅座的扶手椅,自椅背處突出供擱書用之可調節平臺;其設計係讓使用者能以一般方式就坐,或面向後跨坐。並非安裝在椅子上的可調節式閱讀平臺,稱為「讀書桌」。面朝後,供觀看牌局的椅子,則稱「觀牌椅」。 |
Dutch ..... Luie stoelen om in te lezen. Soms wordt deze term gebruikt ter aanduiding van Engelse leunstoelen uit de 18e eeuw die een zadelvormige, leren zitting hebben met opvulling en een verstelbare verhoging die aan de rugleuning vastzit als boekenstandaard. Ze zijn zo ontworpen dat de zittende persoon op de normale manier plaats kan nemen of schrijlings met het gezicht naar de rugleuning gekeerd. |
German ..... Bequemer Stuhl zum Lesen, insbesondere ein im 18.

Für eine verstellbare Leseplattform, die nicht mit einem Stuhl verbunden ist, siehe "Lesepult". Für einen rückwärtsgewandten Stuhl, der zum Zuschauen bei Kartenspielen konstruiert wurde, siehe "Voyeuse". |
