Definition: someone who spends long periods of time using the Internet or playing computer games.
定义:花很长时间上网或玩游戏的人。
Quotation: A mouse potato is the computer equivalent of television's couch potato: someone who tends to spend a great deal of leisure time in front of the computer in much the same way the couch potato does in front of the television.Both activities tend to be accompanied by snacking. A recent survey by the American Snack Food Association found that 85% of Web surfers snack at the computer. It has been observed that this habitual nibbling and relative inactivity can lead to development of a characteristic potato-like body form.
引文:电脑圈子内的鼠标土豆等同于电视圈子内的沙发土豆。就和整天看电视的沙发土豆一样,鼠标土豆在电脑上花了大量的休闲时间。吃零食的行为大都伴随着上面两种人。美国快餐食品协会最近做的一项调查发现85%的上网者在电脑前吃零食。据观察,这种习惯性的咀嚼和相对的惰性可以催生类似土豆状的身材特点。
