每天讲解一个实用口语表达，帮你轻松学英语！常用的口语表达学透，才能真正提高英语口头交流的能力。今天要和大家分享的口语表达是：mouse potato.
关于potato，前面我们讲过big potato，你还记得是什么意思吗？鼠年到了，今天我们就来说说 mouse potato. mouse potato 可不是“老鼠土豆”哦，mouse其实还有个意思，“鼠标”。那mouse potato就很好理解了，就是指“那些长时间使用电脑的人”。Mouse potato means someone who spends a great amount of time using a computer.
I've had enough. I know you are into online computer games, but it has turned you into a total mouse potato! I won't have it.
我受够了。我知道你喜欢在线电脑游戏，但是它已经把你变成一个完完全全的“鼠标人”了，我不允许你这样。
Why don't we take it for a spin? You worked around the clock lately, and it really took a lot out of you. You should take it easy, and I don't want you turning into a mouse potato.
我们为什么不开车出去兜兜风呢？你最近没日没夜的工作，看起来精疲力尽了。你应该好好休息，我可不想你变成个“鼠标人”。
说到mouse potato，不得不提另一个类似表达，couch potato，“沙发土豆”，你能猜到是什么意思吗？对了，就是指“蜷缩在沙发上，吃着薯片，长时间看电视的人”，说到这里可能有些人要笑了~
有人曾吐槽说：I'm a couch potato during holiday, and a mouse potato at work, because I'm not a big potato.
我放假了是“沙发土豆”, 上班了是“鼠标土豆”, 因为我不是“大土豆”。
下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句：
Why are you so down in the dumps? You have turned into a regular mouse potato. Keep your chin up!
