酒足饭饱后的“food coma”

 　　俗话说：舒服不如倒着。在美美大餐一顿后，不由得会感到倦意袭来，很想倒下去舒服地睡一觉。这就叫作food coma¹(饭气攻心).

　　Food coma refers to the feeling of listlessness, bordering on sleep, that one feels after eating a large meal, often caused by a rush of blood to the stomach and intestines² during food digestion³.

　　“饭气攻心”指的是在大吃一顿后感到的困倦，通常是因为在食物消化过程中血液大量涌向胃的缘故。

　　Example:

　　I ate the whole pizza and now I'm slipping into a food coma.

　　我吃了一整张比萨，现在正逐渐进入饭气攻心状态。
