1. 1四肢張開地癱著/攤著(躺或坐,佔很大位置、姿勢隨便)。像中文說「整個人癱在沙發上」「大字型躺著」

    Lying or sitting with your arms and legs stretched out loosely, in a way that takes up a lot of space and looks careless, tired or relaxed. It is the past form of 'sprawl', but you meet it most often as a description after 'be' or 'lie': 'he was sprawled on the sofa', 'she lay sprawled across the bed'. It carries a picture, not a judgement of character — sometimes it is comfort (a teenager sprawled in front of the TV), sometimes exhaustion (sprawled on the grass after running), and sometimes it is bad news (a body sprawled on the pavement after an accident). It usually goes with a place word: sprawled ON the sofa, ACROSS the seats, OUT on the floor. The related 'sprawl out' means to settle into that position on purpose.

組成From the verb 'sprawl' — to spread out limbs in a loose, untidy way — plus the -ed ending that turns it into a description of how someone is lying.
