Olá, tradutores!
Gostaria da opinião de vocês sobre a expressão "cut talk short" na seguinte frase:
"You usually express your emotions with passion and intensity. But there are some topics you prefer to avoid, and others are perplexed when you suddenly cut talk short."
A opção "corta a conversa" seria adequada para o contexto?
Agradecimentos mil! ;)

fica um tanto quieto
Acho que ficaria bom no seu contexto; menos formal que as outras sugestões, mas não tão informal quanto "corta a conversa".
