From the perspective of the North American trailers, some of the films have traditional Chinese culture. The characteristic vocabulary is translated this way. Demon Pill, demonic nature, Qiankun Hoop cast a heaven made curse lightning bolt, and the translation of some classic lines also makes it easier for foreign audiences to understand. I control my own life. I am the master of my own fate. Fate to you. Forgetyour fate. It's a devil or a fairy, I have the final say. Im the one who decides, if Im an immortal or demon. I bear my own life. I will be responsible for my own fate. The translation of the above lines did not arouse too many objections, except for "Fuck your fate", some netizens think that "forget your fate" is not domineering enough, and the Australian version translates to "screw your fate" , It is closer to the tone of the original sentence. Screw has the meaning of "Let... go to hell; go (you, it, etc.)" in spoken language, which means contempt, anger and other emotions. For example: "Okay, let's go to you!" "Well, screw you then!"
