chastized -> chastised (?)
Google Translate translates the Japanese as follows, which is more natural:
The reason you didn't wake up just now was because you wanted me to punish you, right?
Is it a good translation?

>Is it a good translation?
Ah, it's interesting. At first, I thought No, but this translation could be good too.
The Japanese word "起きる - okiru" has several meanings: for example "wake up", "get up", "stand up", and so on. In this case, my first association was that "get up" would be a better match, but depending on the context (situation), I think "wake up" would also be good. (When a woman says naughty jokes to her boyfriend who doesn't wake up easily.)
"折檻 - sekkan" has the image of "a parent scolding a child who has done something wrong while slapping the child's buttocks like this link (https://www.ac-illust.com/main/...?id=2321003)," but in this Japanese sentence, I also associate it with
bullying, harassment, or a sexual scene as sadomasochism (https://pixta.jp/illustration/70872826, https://pixta.jp/illustration/70919904).
So it looks like it could stay as "chastise" from what I see in the dictionary.
However, I think this Japanese translation was done playfully by a high school student in the Tanaka corpus. She/he didn't wake up easily and said to her/his boyfriend, "You wanted me to punish you, right?" or something like that.
Both seem to be good to me.
By the way, I think it's amazing that I can imagine so much in this one sentence. However, I'm not the student who translated, so I don't know if that is true or not and it's a shame that I can't ask them.
Maybe it's the case that this has more than one correct interpretation then?
I think both interpretations could be covered by the Google Translate option, and DeepL gives a very similar reading:
The reason you didn't wake up earlier was because you wanted me to punish you, wasn't it?
Thanks, both of you!
