“亚洲蹲从何而来呢？

作者的调查结果如下:

Originating in India, the squat made its way to China, where Asians figured that it was the ideal way to eat rice and be ready to defecate at any given time.

这种蹲姿源于印度，然后传到中国，亚洲人民发现这个蹲姿是最理想的进食姿势，同时也是最方便的排便姿势。

和“亚洲蹲类似的还有一个词，“泡菜蹲(kimchi squat)，两个词意思基本相似。

Urban Dictionary是这么解释“泡菜蹲的：

Military slang term for the way that 90% of the people of Asia sit. To properly execute the kimchi squat you must be able to touch your buttocks to your Achilles' tendons while simultaneously keeping your feet firmly planted flat on the ground.

这是一个军事俚语，指90%的亚洲人的坐姿。“泡菜蹲的正确姿势是：臀部碰到后脚跟，整个脚掌着地。

Most Asians can hold this position for hours while waiting on a bus, smoking a cigarette, shooting the shit, or just taking one. Fewer than 5% of the population of the USA can execute this modified sitting position.

大多数亚洲人能够在等公交车、抽烟、解手的时候长时间保持蹲姿，但只有不到5%的美国人能够保持这种姿势。

有很多网站开始故作高深地解释“亚洲蹲的好处：能够拉升大腿、锻炼腿部肌肉、促进消化和排便……等等。
