Facebook has quietly released an app called Lasso that lets users create fun, short videos designed to compete with TikTok, the viral 15-second video app, which is known as Douyin in China. 脸书公司悄悄发布了一个名为Lasso的应用软件，用户可以用它来制作有趣的短视频。脸书推出该应用软件的目的是为了与TikTok（抖音国际版）竞争，TikTok是一款很火的15秒短视频应用软件，在中国它被称为抖音。 Lasso is Facebook's latest bid to win over teens, which the large social media platform has lost its hold over. In 2018, only half of teens say they still use Facebook, compared to in 2017, when 71 percent of them said they did. Lasso是脸书公司为了吸引青少年用户而提出的最新战略，如今这家大型社交媒体平台已流失大量青少年用户。2018年，只有一半的青少年表示自己还在使用脸书，而2017年有71%的青少年表示自己使用脸书。 It is said that, on Lasso, users can record themselves dancing and lip-syncing to music, similar to what they can already do on TikTok. The app also lets users record short clips. It's available on iOS and Android. 据说，用户可以用Lasso记录自己伴着音乐对口型、跳舞的视频，这与TikTok的功能相似。该应用软件还能让用户录制短视频。而且该应用软件支持iOs系统和安卓系统。 Facebook said: “Lasso is a new standalone app for short-form, entertaining videos — from comedy to beauty to fitness and more. We're excited about the potential here, and we’ll be gathering feedback from people and creators.” |
