Other / other | | English term or phrase: in their tracks | | The car now enters a tunnel and when we cut back to the car it has become a 1997 Ferrari F310B and it's moving rapidly along the road flanking Ipanema beach in Rio. In the background we see the famous Christ the Redeemer statue on top of the Corcovado mountain. The noise of the car stops people in their tracks. |
| | | rimanere di sasso / bloccarsi (per la sorpresa) / restare basita/i | Explanation:
stop (somebody) in their tracks
if something stops someone in their tracks, or if they stop in their tracks, they suddenly stop what they are doing because they are so surprised:
- A loud scream stopped me dead in my tracks.
- He opened the door and stopped in his tracks. A complete stranger was sitting in his office.
