Dock
Dock: the area of water between two piers or alongside a pier that receives a ship for loading, unloading, or repairs.
Dock常译为码头, 船坞，近似 pier，wharf之意.
但在办公室场所却另有新意，表示“扣罚”之意！如下，
Dock：to deprive of a benefit or a part of one's wages, especially as a punishment:扣罚：从工资中扣掉一部分或扣掉利益，尤其用来表示惩罚：
e.g. The company docks its employees for unauthorized absences.
公司因其职员无端缺勤而扣其工资
