最近，国外的社交网站又掀起一股卖萌风潮，这一次的统一动作是，像环球选美小姐那样挥手。你说你没听说？那你可能有点落伍了，连范·迪塞尔和“霉霉”都参与了呢！

The pabebe (acting cute) wave has taken hold in the Philippines, with celebrities from across the world joining in the craze, posting videos of themselves.

“卖萌挥手”已经席卷菲律宾，而且全球名人都争相加入，在网上发布自己卖萌挥手的视频。

What is the pabebe?

Pabebe到底什么意思呢？

It means to act cute, like a baby.

是像小宝宝一样装可爱，卖萌的意思。

Where did it come from?

这股风潮从哪里来？

The mini wave originated with beauty pageant contestants in the Miss Universe pageant, but has been made popular in Asia by Filipino actors Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza from the series Eat Bulaga.

这种微微挥手的姿势源自于环球小姐的选美比赛选手，因为被菲律宾一档名为Eat Bulaga节目中的男女主人公Alden Richards（菲律宾著名男星）和Maine Mendoza（菲律宾版“小咖秀”女王）模仿而走红。

Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza interacting through split screen television. The primary means of dialogue between the two are the use of audio samples of popular media and handwritten messages shown on screen.

在节目中，两人通过两个屏幕进行交流，而交流的途径主要是大众媒体中的音频资料和手写信息。

A few months ago, the pair appeared on Eat Bulaga, a popular TV show, with Richards on video link and Mendoza in the studio. When she muddled her dubbing, the show hosts noticed the spark between the two and asked Mendoza to acknowledge Richards. That’s when Mendoza dropped the pabebe wave, and that is why it is now a thing.

几个月前，两人在Eat Bulaga节目中视频连线，Richards远程，Mendoza在直播间。Mendoza现场玩配音秀的时候出了错，而远程的Richards及时帮她救场，节目支持人注意到了两人之间配合时产生火花，于是让Mendoza现场向Richards致谢，于是，就出现了风靡社交网络的“卖萌挥手”。
