知情人士称，在最近的非公开股票交易中，TikTok母公司字节跳动的估值上升了至少1/3，达到逾1000亿美元。分析称这表明字节跳动的广告收入持续增长。请看本报周五的报道：

Bytedance Ltd.’s valuation has risen at least a third to more than US$100 billion in recent private share transactions, people familiar with the matter said, reflecting expectations the owner of video phenom TikTok will keep pulling in advertisers.

Stock in the world’s most valuable startup has changed hands recently at a price that suggests its value has risen more than 33 percent from about US$75 billion during a major round of funding two years ago, the sources said.

报道中的phenom就是“非凡的人或事物”，是个俚语用法，相当于phenomenon，通常指“神童、黑马”。例如：

His younger brother is a 12-year-old tennis phenom.

他弟弟才12岁，是个网球天才。
