周末又要到了,你是选择宅在家里,还是邀上三五好友外出游玩呢?很多朋友可能会选择宅在家里看电视,那么你可千万要小心,别变成个"couch potato"了.

American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

一项面向34个国家7万多名青少年开展的调查显示，爱泡在电视机前的并非只有美国儿童，全球近三分之一的儿童每天看电视或玩电脑的时间达到三小时甚至更多。

这里的"couch potato"指的就是老是泡在电视机前的人.

A couch potato is someone who spends most of their time watching television and does not exercise or have any interesting hobbies.

例句:

My father becomes a couch potato during football season. 在足球赛季我的父亲成天坐在沙发上看电视.

He is such a couch potato on weekends. 他一到周末就成天看电视看个不停.
