How to Say “Shrek” in Chinese

史瑞克
shǐruìkè
史瑞克 (shǐruìkè) is the Chinese name for Shrek, the main character from the Shrek movie series.

How do you pronounce it?

shǐruìkè

Did you know?

  • In some Chinese fan communities, Shrek is jokingly associated with 'green tea' 绿茶, a slang term for someone who appears innocent but is manipulative, due to his color.
  • The character 瑞 often appears in names to mean 'auspicious' or 'lucky', adding a strangely positive connotation to a character who is an ogre.
  • If you were to translate the concept of an 'ogre' literally into Chinese, you would use terms like 食人魔 (shīrénmó), which sounds much more intimidating.

Examples in context

  • 怪物史莱克是我最喜欢的动画角色!
    Shrek is my favorite animated character!
  • 今晚咱们看《怪物史莱克》吧!
    Let's watch the Shrek movie tonight!
  • 史瑞克是一个绿色的怪物。
    Shǐruìkè shì yīgè lǜsè de guàiwù.
    Shrek is a green monster.
  • 史瑞克住在一个沼泽里。
    Shǐruìkè zhù zài yīgè zhǎozé lǐ.
    Shrek lives in a swamp.
