突然停止

Fear made him freeze in his tracks.

恐惧使他停止前进。

The conversation fell suddenly.

谈话声停止。

They checked their steps.

他停止了脚步。

Think of the transfixingly strange Scherzo of the Fifth Symphony, when the music effectively stops moving and the timpanist drums lightly on the note C like a finger tapping on a pane.

想想第五交响曲的谐谑曲中奇怪终止的地，当音乐停止时，定音鼓手的出C音，就像用手指格一样。
