好象有couch potato这个单词According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term "couch potato" first appeared in print in a December 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then, it has become an increasingly familiar term for a person who spends a great deal of time engaged in sedentary pursuits, and little time exercising. Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term "couch potato" is used rather than "couch tomato", a person is presumably a "couch potato" because living this way is said to make you round like a potato. The term is also said to have something to do with the association of potatoes with high-calorie food like potato chips.

"Couch potato" now rolls easily off the tongues of people whenever discussion turns to overweight and obesity. Indeed, the "couch potato" is often described as the phenomenon at the heart of the "obesity epidemic". "Couch potatoes" are believed to risk heart disease, which can be warded off by regular exercises. If we could only eliminate the "couch potatoes" we would greatly reduce overweight and obesity and improve the health of nations.
