A popular Chinese photo-editing app has suddenly burst into popularity in the West, covering social feeds in airbrushed photos with huge, sparkling eyes.

一款在中国很受欢迎的图片编辑软件突然就在西方火了起来，用其修过的闪闪发光的大眼睛铺天盖地涌到了社交媒体上！

Although Meitu has been around since 2008, it has become an overnight success.

虽然美图秀秀在2008年就上线了，但是最近它可以说是“一夜成名”。

Meitu is a lot like other photo-editing apps — it has Bitmoji-style stickers, Instagram-style filters, and Layout-style photo collages¹.

美图秀秀和其他的图片编辑软件有许多相似之处--有Bitmoji风格的贴纸、Instagram风格的滤镜、以及Layout风格的拼图功能。

But the app really shines in its "hand-drawn" mode that is like a Snapchat filter on steroids.

不过，美图秀秀的“手绘”模式真的很赞！就好像用Snapchat滤镜画画一样。

The hand-drawn mode slims down jawlines, enlarges eyes, and adds a little bit of sparkle to the whole package.

手绘模式可以削尖你的下巴、把你的眼睛变大，还可以在整张照片上加上一些璀璨流光！

Basically, it makes you look like a cartoon — and it's these images that are rapidly spreading on social media.

一般来说，这会让你看起来像是动漫里的人物--社交媒体上铺天盖地席卷而来的照片就是这样！

The company behind the app IPOed in Hong Kong in December with a roughly $4.6 billion valuation — which may increase as investors² learn that Western audiences like the app too.

去年12月，美图秀秀公司香港IPOed粗略估值为46亿美元--而当投资者知道西方人也很喜欢这款APP后，这个数字可能还会继续增加。
