周末到了,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窝在家里看电视。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3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 his 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。
