短释义：
Recumbent starts like recline, which is an easy way to remember it. Your dad’s position in his favorite La-Z-Boy reclining chair? Recumbent. Your position when you lay back on lounge chair at the pool? Also recumbent — and in both cases, these are both positions of comfort.
躺着而不是坐直的自行车是靠背的。 Recumbent 是指以斜躺的姿势向后靠。
长释义：
Recumbent starts like recline, which is an easy way to remember it. Your dad’s position in his favorite La-Z-Boy reclining chair? Recumbent. Your position when you lay back on lounge chair at the pool? Also recumbent — and in both cases, these are both positions of comfort.
Recumbent 开始时像 recline，这是一种容易记住的方法。你爸爸在他最喜欢的 La-Z-Boy 躺椅上的位置？卧着。当你躺在游泳池的躺椅上时，你的姿势是什么？也是靠着的——在这两种情况下，这些都是舒适的姿势。
