The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly attributable to a seasonality increase and our continuing efforts to boost our revenues in portal and video advertising.<blockquote>品牌广告收入总计3700万美元，同比下降3%，环比增长20%。环比增长主要归因于季节性增长以及我们持续努力提高门户网站和视频广告收入。</blockquote> Online game revenues wereUS$151 million, up 43% year-over-year and down 14%&nbsp;quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly contributed by TLBB Vintage, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the natural decline of TLBB PC.<blockquote>网络游戏收入为1.51亿美元，同比增长43%，环比下降14%。同比增长主要由2020年第四季度推出的TLBB Vintage贡献。环比下降主要是由于TLBB PC的自然下降。</blockquote> Gross Margin<blockquote>毛利率</blockquote> Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 76%,&nbsp;compared with 67% in the second quarter of 2020 and 79% in the first quarter of 2021.<blockquote>GAAP和非GAAP毛利率均为76%，而2020年第二季度和2021年第一季度分别为67%和79%。</blockquote> GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was&nbsp;27%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and&nbsp;20% in the first&nbsp;quarter of 2021.&nbsp;Non-GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was&nbsp;28%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and&nbsp;20% in the first&nbsp;quarter of 2021.The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to increases in costs of events hosted in the second quarter of 2021, which have been resumed to a large extent with the easing of COVID-19. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to increased revenues in the portal and video advertising businesses.<blockquote>品牌广告业务GAAP毛利率为27%，2020年第二季度为40%，2021年第一季度为20%，非GAAP品牌广告业务毛利率为28%，2020年第二季度为40%，2021年第一季度为20%。同比下降主要是由于2021年第二季度举办的活动成本增加，随着COVID-19的缓解，这些活动在很大程度上已恢复。环比增长主要是由于门户网站和视频广告业务的收入增加。</blockquote> GAAP gross margin for online games was 89%, compared with 77% in the second quarter of 2020 and 89% in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin for online games was 89%, compared with 78% in the second quarter of 2020 and 90% in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was mainly due to a higher percentage revenue contribution from PC games, which typically require lower revenue-sharing payments.<blockquote>网络游戏的GAAP毛利率为89%，而2020年第二季度和2021年第一季度分别为77%和89%。网络游戏的非美国通用会计准则毛利率为89%，2020年第二季度为78%，2021年第一季度为90%。毛利率同比增长主要是由于PC游戏的收入贡献百分比较高，而PC游戏通常需要较低的收入分成付款。</blockquote> Operating Expenses<blockquote>营业费用</blockquote> For the&nbsp;second quarter of 2021, GAAP operating expenses totaledUS$130 million, up 23% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter.

The year-over-year increase was mainly contributed by TLBB Vintage, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the natural decline of TLBB PC.<blockquote>网络游戏收入为1.51亿美元，同比增长43%，环比下降14%。同比增长主要由2020年第四季度推出的TLBB Vintage贡献。环比下降主要是由于TLBB PC的自然下降。</blockquote> Gross Margin<blockquote>毛利率</blockquote> Both GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 76%,&nbsp;compared with 67% in the second quarter of 2020 and 79% in the first quarter of 2021.<blockquote>GAAP和非GAAP毛利率均为76%，而2020年第二季度和2021年第一季度分别为67%和79%。</blockquote> GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was&nbsp;27%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and&nbsp;20% in the first&nbsp;quarter of 2021.&nbsp;Non-GAAP gross margin for the brand advertising business was&nbsp;28%, compared with 40% in the second quarter of 2020 and&nbsp;20% in the first&nbsp;quarter of 2021.The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to increases in costs of events hosted in the second quarter of 2021, which have been resumed to a large extent with the easing of COVID-19.

Non-GAAP gross margin for online games was 89%, compared with 78% in the second quarter of 2020 and 90% in the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was mainly due to a higher percentage revenue contribution from PC games, which typically require lower revenue-sharing payments.<blockquote>网络游戏的GAAP毛利率为89%，而2020年第二季度和2021年第一季度分别为77%和89%。网络游戏的非美国通用会计准则毛利率为89%，2020年第二季度为78%，2021年第一季度为90%。毛利率同比增长主要是由于PC游戏的收入贡献百分比较高，而PC游戏通常需要较低的收入分成付款。</blockquote> Operating Expenses<blockquote>营业费用</blockquote> For the&nbsp;second quarter of 2021, GAAP operating expenses totaledUS$130 million, up 23% year-over-year and 5% quarter-over-quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses wereUS$127 million, up 25% year-over-year and 4% quarter-over-quarter.
