Dou Sen, Swifty Swift, Que Ye, Ri Ri... Where did the Chinese nicknames of foreign stars come from?

Get up!

The news of Taylor Swift and Dougson's breakup was overwhelming, making many Dougson fans breathe a sigh of relief...

Every time I see relevant news in Moments, Zhijun is very grateful to the fans for giving them such short and unique Chinese names.

Otherwise, the title of the article you may see is "Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Announce..."

Taylor Swift, Dou Sen, Que Ye, Hua Hua, Tangbao, Fu Lanlan... Do you know where the Chinese nicknames of foreign stars come from?

 

Taylor Swift——Taylor Swift

Taylor's appearance is a typical representative of "American sweetheart", the "beauty" in our hearts, "bad luck" and "beautiful" are homophonic; and because every time Taylor hits the top spot on the Billboard chart, something goes wrong and she ends up in second place. It is so unlucky that fans gave her this weird name to express their love for bad luck.

 

Tom Hiddleston Tom Hiddleston

His surname Hiddleston is pronounced as "Dousen". This title is so popular that even he himself knows it.

 

Benedict Cumberbatch——Queye

Because the last pronunciation of his surname Cumberbatch, "ch", is somewhat similar to the Chinese word "que", and I am sometimes very awkward.

His more well-known nickname is "Curly Fook", which comes from the curly hair of Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock".

 

Leonardo DiCaprioLeonardo DiCaprio——Xiao Li

From the Hong Kong translation of his name "Leonardo". "Li" is a Chinese surname. Nowadays, it is common to call people "Xiao Li" directly, which seems cordial.

I feel like it’s more appropriate to call him “Lao Li” now…

 

Orlando Bloom——Bloom

Because his last name is Bloom, which means "flowering" in English, and he is handsome, so he fits this title very well.

 

Rihanna——日日

Because the first two letters of her name are Ri, and the pinyin is "日", so she called her "日日", which is quite casual.

 

Justin·Bieber Justin Bieber——Dingri

Justin Bieber's initials are "JB", does it look like the Chinese "Dingri"?

 

Nicki Minaj——Spicy Chicken

Her surname Minaj is pronounced like "spicy chicken", which fits her sexy and hot image very well~

 

Ryan Gosling—— Commander Gao

His last name "Gosling" is homophonic to "Commander Gao", it's so simple and crude...

 

Christina Aguilera—t;/p>

The abbreviation of her name is "CA", and the pinyin is "Ca".

 

Jessie J·J Jessie J——Sister Calculus

British treble queen Jessie J, homophonic to "Sister Calculus"...I wonder if she knows this...

 

Selena Gomez——Silly Face

Selena's pronunciation is close to "Silianna", and she has the same baby face.

 

Bruno Mars——Mars Brother

Actually, Bruno Mars is just his stage name, but since his stage name has to be Mars, don’t blame fans for calling him Brother Mars.

 

Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez——Loba

Jennifer's popular title in Hong Kong and mainland China is "Luo Ba", which is actually the transliteration of Lord of Butt. The literal translation is "King of Butts", which is worthy of her name.

In addition, the pronunciation of "Luo Ba" is also very similar to the Chinese transliteration of Jennifer's surname Lopez.

 

Katy Perry——Fruit Sister

She likes to wear fruit costumes and even emerged from a big banana during a performance. She has also revealed that she will eat fruits grown by herself. It is not unfair to call her Fruit Sister.

 

Frank Ocean——Fa Hai

法 is the transliteration of Frank, and 海 is the free translation of Ocean, which is no longer sei~

 

Matt·Matt Bomer——Peacock

How could God make him so perfect... Fans call him "Peacock" because of his incredible looks.

 

Ke$ha——Qian Po

Her stage name "Kesha" contains the currency symbol, and fans affectionately call her "Qian Po".

 

Tom Hardy—— Tang Laoshi

This comes from his character Eames in "Inception". The Chinese homophone is "touch wet", which means he gets wet when he touches it. Because he is always wet, it is called "old wet" for short.

People also found that his hair was always wet…

 

James McAvoy——一美

Britain once voted for more beautiful stars than Jolie and Pitt. James McAvoy ranked first among men. Later, it was reported by domestic media that he was the most beautiful actor in Europe. His full name should be called "Europe's Most Beautiful".

 

Michael Fassbender——法Shar

"Fa" is the transliteration of his surname Fassbender, and "shark" describes Fassbender's smile as ferocious as that of a shark.

 

Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson

In 2011, she came to China for the first time as the global ambassador of Moet Champagne. When she went to eat soup dumplings in Shanghai, her tongue was burned, hence the name.

 

Jennifer Lawrence——Big Cousin

On the eve of the official announcement of the 2011 Oscars, hundreds of Chinese netizens jokingly announced the results in advance. They all claimed that they heard about it from their "cousin who works on the Oscar jury." One of the Chinese netizens went a step further and boldly claimed that Lawrence was his cousin and said that she would win the Best Actress award. In the end, Lawrence failed to win the Best Actress Award, but the nickname stuck.

 

Martin Freeman——Chaoye

Despite his short calves, he has a lot of clothes. He wears very fashionable clothes on various occasions and talks very fashionably, so he is respectfully called "Chaoye" in the world.

 

James Franco——Fu Lanlan

His feminine style and demeanor make people think that he is "the best deep closet in the universe", so he is nicknamed: "Fu (Fu) Lanlan", which is both a transliteration and in line with his tone.

 

Marion Cotillard——Ma Liang

Because the Chinese pinyin of "Marion" is maliang, the first word automatically spelled out by the input method is "Ma Liang", so everyone just goes with the flow and calls Marion "Ma Liang"…

 

Ben Whishaw·Ben Whishaw——Ben Meow

He likes cats. He once had thirteen cats at home. They were cute in appearance and sounded like kittens, so he called them Benmiao. Very appropriate~
