| | English translation:Pause to reflect | Explanation:
This term is often used in sport, to denote time in which to pause, recover then start again (you can ask for a time-out in some sports) or in childcare where a misbehaving child is given a time-out where they have to sit on their own and consider their actions.
Here, it's in I suppose the first sense, as in all the staff stop for a moment - or rather pause, and gather their thoughts before reaffirming the process to be gone through. |
