] "The Thief in the City", the failure of the Chinese name translation

Perhaps it is for the pursuit of attendance, so that the audience thinks it is another thrilling police and robber shootout! The Chinese translation takes the idiotic name "The Thief in the City"! The original English name is "The Town". Why is it called? After watching the video, I guess everyone should understand it!
A group of children who grew up in Charles City, Boston, they are very simple and believe that their destiny is closely related to this city. Without those parents, they might become hockey world stars, excellent circuit engineers, hardworking workers and so on! But the fate of the fathers (maybe several generations before) is passed on to them! Be a thief! Underworld life! Helpless and unable to! Some people have no choice but to admit their fate, some people think it is a kind of enjoyment! No one thinks they should leave the city! But after all, some people will realize and decide to fight against fate! Ben Afflett made it! Love made him sober, helped him escape this city, and escaped from this life, out of the shackles of fate! Thinking of Zhang Jiahui’s "Mong Kok Prison", he would never get out of Mong Kok for the rest of his life.
Look at the title again, everyone may be the same as I thought! What a shit! Also a robber! That's right, it's a story about a besieged city! The American version of "Siege"!

The Town quotes

  • Fergus 'Fergie' Colm: You know they either geld a horse with a knife or with chemicals. When your Daddy said "no" to me, I did him the chemical way.

  • FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: You and your boys didn't just roll a star market over in Malden for a box of quarters. No, you decided to bang it out in the North End at nine o'clock in the morning with assault rifles. You fucking dummies shot a guard! Now you're like a half off sale at a Big & Tall - every cop is in line. Fortunately though, for you, this guard, who is two-thirds to a retard, has miraculously clung to life. Now, if it were up to me, and they gave me two minutes and a wet towel, I would personally asphyxiate this half-wit so we could string you up on a federal M1 and end this story with a bag on your head and a paralyzing agent running through your veins. This isn't fucking Tommy Hopscotch anymore, Doug. But I did wanna say one thing: You're here today so I can personally tell you that you are going to die in federal prison. And so are all your friends. No deal. No compromise. And when that day comes when you start trying to be my hero collaborator so hard that I have to slap you to shut up, and it will come, despite your pitiable, misguided, Irish Omertà. When your code of silence finally gives way to fear of trafficking in cigarettes to prevent sexual enslavement, I just want you to know that it's gonna be me who told you to go fuck yourself.
