（单词翻译:单击）

　　有的时候你一定对照片里的某些人感到好奇，心想为什么他在照片里这么好看本人却并不是如此?这样的人我们把他叫做Photato—上镜的土豆。土豆本身凹凸不平，颜色深沉，不具辨识度，就像那些现实中长相平平的普通人。

　　Photato(Photogenic Potato) refers to someone that looks good in a photo, but looks ugly in person。

　　上镜的土豆指的就是那些本人长得并不出众，却很上镜的人。

　　She might be someone with a small face, or a slim body, or someone who is relaxed with the camera. All those factors¹ could make her look more beautiful in the photo than she actually is, which makes us jealous²。

　　也许她拥有一张小脸，也许她身材苗条，也许她面对镜头很放松……这些都能让她镜头上比本人更漂亮，也让我们更嫉妒。

　　Example:

　　That girl is such a photato. If only she was as good looking in real life, as she was in her Facebook photos。

　　那个女孩就是个上镜的土豆。要是她真人和她Facebook上的照片一样好看就好了。
