他是《我爱我家》里一个不太靠谱的客人。一进门就瘫在沙发上,四肢摊开,眼神放空。这个姿势在 2016 年被网友翻了出来,成了风靡全网的「葛优躺」——教科书级别的「什么都不干」。He is a rather unreliable guest in the 1993 sitcom I Love My Family. He flops onto the sofa, limbs spread, eyes blank. In 2016 the internet rediscovered the pose and it became a nationwide meme — a textbook case of doing nothing.
