  desk potato 桌邊神遊族

  英文中把那些整天賴在沙發上看電視、不愛轉動的人叫做couch potato。自從有了收集今後,有相稱一部門人已廢棄了couch potato的身份,轉而參加了desk potato的行列。

  Desk potato is someone who sits at a desk all day long but gets little to nothing done -- usually because of websurfing or playing computer games. The term is derived from couch potato.

  desk potato(譯為“桌邊神遊族”)指成天坐在書桌邊,卻不見有任何工作完成的人,平日都是由於他們整天都在上彀閑逛或玩遊戲。desk potato這個說法起源於couch potato(電視迷、整天坐在沙發上無所事事的人)。

  例句:

  Jim has become a real desk potato. Between Mahjong and Minesweeper he manages to squeeze in a few hours on MySpace, and then he plays RPG's(Role-playing game) 'til midnight.

  吉姆已成為了徹徹底底的“桌邊神遊族”。除玩麻將和踩地雷遊戲,他還會抽出幾小時上MySpace,然後就一向玩腳色飾演遊戲到子夜。
