Do you know what a couchpotato means? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couchpotato becomes maybe even a part of American tradition. You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch(沙發(fā)) watching TV. As there are many programs to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive(上癮的). One may sit and watch TV for hours without stop. They do nothing else but watch TV. These people are called couchpotatoes.

In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dull(呆滯的). Everyone is sitting quietly with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also, because these people are addictive to TV, they don't exercise and usually get very fat.
