The “Ge You slouch”

　　“葛优瘫”

　　A screenshot of a skinny, balding, middle-aged man slouching on a couch went viral on the Chinese internet this year. Ge You, a guest star in the 1990s sitcom “I Love My Family,” played a scam artist who tried to sell himself as an inventor. After the family on the show invited him into their house, thefreeloader pretty much glued himself to the couch 24/7, except when having meals.

　　今年，一个秃顶且骨瘦如柴的中年男子无精打采地瘫坐在沙发上的截图如病毒一般在中国互联网上扩散开来。在20世纪90年代的一部情景喜剧“我爱我家”中，葛优客串了一个骗子的角色，在剧中他设法自荐为发明家。当剧中的家庭成员邀请他去家里做客的时候，这个爱占便宜的人除了吃饭的时候几乎时时刻刻都一动不动地瘫在沙发上。

　　Chinese netizens coined the phrase “The Ge You slouch” to describe a state of idleness which they called “living without hope.”

　　中国网民创造了“葛优瘫”这个词组来描述一种他们称之为“生活无望”的懒散状态。
