Ambitious young people like 20-year Addison Rae and 16-year-old Charli D'Amelio have been able to amass huge audiences on the social media platform (D'Amelio's tops 100 million)
像20岁的艾迪生·雷伊和16岁的查利·达梅里奥这样雄心勃勃的年轻人能够在社交媒体平台（达梅里奥的最高纪录是1亿人）上聚集大量观众，

by dancing, singing, lip-syncing, pulling pranks, performing skits and whatever else they can think of in short videos, most of which last between 15 seconds and a minute.
他们通过跳舞、唱歌、对口型、恶作剧、表演短剧以及他们能想到的任何形式来录制短视频，视频大多持续15秒到1分钟。

Austin, for instance is 82 years old and is known to his 1.4 million TikTok fans as "Old Man Steve"
例如，今年82岁的奥斯汀拥有140万抖音粉丝，大家都称他为“史蒂夫老人”。

Austin and several other older social media stars have developed big TikTok followings over the last few years,
但他和其他几位年纪较大的社交媒体明星在过去几年里已经拥有了大量的抖音粉丝，

Most of them started out posting just for fun, but were lucky enough to go viral.
他们中的大多数一开始上传视频只是为了好玩，但却幸运地走红了。

Some have since turned pro, leveraging their TikTok fame into appearances on other platforms and TV as well as ads and endorsement deals.
一些人后来转为专职抖音博主，利用他们在抖音上的名气在其他平台、电视、广告以及代言上亮相。

While they are just as exuberant as their young counterparts, TikTok's seniors brings their own touch of sweetness to the medium.
虽然抖音上的老年博主和年轻人一样精力充沛，但他们给抖音带来了他们自己的趣味。

but they all seem to think of themselves not so much as budding celebrities as virtual grandparents to young followers.
但他们似乎全都认为自己与其说是崭露头角的名人，不如说是年轻粉丝的线上祖父母。

"I think that it's a great thing for seniors to be able to be on the internet and communicate," Old Man Steve says "I don't think it's just for the young people."
史蒂夫老人说，“我认为老年人能够上网交流是一件很好的事情，我不认为这只是年轻人能做的事情。”

Jenny Krupa, 88, of Alberta, Canada has become the TikTok star "J-dog" with the help of her grandson, Skylar Krupa.
加拿大阿尔伯塔省88岁的珍妮·克鲁帕在外孙斯凯拉·克鲁帕的帮助下成为了抖音明星“J-dog”。

On Valentine's Day, for instance, she told viewers not to worry about not getting a card.
例如，她在情人节的时候告诉观众不要担心得不到情人节贺卡，

"It's not because no one likes you," she said. "It's probably because you're a loser."
她说，“这不是因为没有人喜欢你，这可能是因为你是一个失败者。”

"She liked the attention from it," Skylar says, and now "she's definitely turning into J-dog."
斯凯拉说：“她喜欢得到关注，现在她肯定要变成J-dog了。”

Skylar says his grandmother was very touched by the online love and support she got from her followers following her husband's death in July.
斯凯拉说，在祖父7月去世后，祖母从粉丝那里得到的网络喜爱和支持让她非常感动。
