| Shrek Forever After, the fourth and allegedly final Shrek movie, finds our ogre hero living in 3-D but frustrated with his mundane existence as husband, father of three and living legend. Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) longs to be a real ogre again. He wants to see villagers fleeing before him in genuine terror, instead of treating his home like a tourist attraction. He wants his old life back, if only for a day. |
《怪物史莱克4》是《史莱克》系列电影的第四部，也被宣称是该系列的最后一部。在这部影片中，我们的怪物英雄以3D面貌亮相；如今，他已身为人夫，有了三个孩子，还被人们供为传奇人物，然而，这种寻常而无聊的生活却让他倍感失落。史莱克（麦克•梅尔斯 配音）渴望能再当一回真正的怪物：村民们见到他会很恐惧地逃走，而不是像现在这样，仿佛他的家就是一处旅游景点。他希望能回到过去的怪物生活，哪怕只有一天也好。 |
| The fellow who can fix that is Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn), a lawyerly wizard with a contract and a long-held grudge against the ogre. He trades Shrek the chance to live one day, "like it used to be," in exchange for one day earlier in his life. Rumpelstiltskin makes sure that earlier day was the date of Shrek's birth. |
能帮他实现这个愿望的是一个叫侏儒怪（沃尔特•道恩 配音）的巫师，他对怪物史莱克早就怀恨在心。他仿佛一个律师，跟史莱克签了一份协议：史莱克可以获得机会，过一天“像过去一样”的生活；但作为交换，史莱克得放弃他早年生活中的某一天。侏儒怪暗做手脚，将被抹去的一天确定为史莱克出生的那一天。 |
| Even though he was never born, Shrek is still around for his "one day" — feared, no longer a celebrity, no longer friends with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) or Puss 'n Boots (Antonio Banderas), and no longer married to Fiona, who grew up to be the angry leader of the ogre underground resistance to Rumpelstiltskin's rule. |
在变化后的世界里，史莱克的降生被抹去了；尽管如此，他依旧存在，过着他渴望的“那一天”生活：大家都很怕他，他不再是名人，也不再是驴子（艾迪•墨菲 配音）和那只穿靴子的猫（安东尼奥•班德拉斯 配音）的朋友，他也没有跟菲奥纳结婚。菲奥纳在这里成了一名愤怒的领袖，她秘密领导着怪物反抗势力与侏儒怪的统治相抗衡。 |
| Witches ravage the land of Far Far Away and terrorize even the ogres. Shrek has to somehow get that "True Love's Kiss" from Fiona again, and quickly, to set this world right. |
女巫们摧残着遥远王国这片土地，连怪物们都惊恐不安。史莱克不得不再次努力从菲奥纳那里获得“真爱之吻”，而且必须要迅速让这个世界回归正轨。
