"Cut (someone or something) short" = Cắt ngang/cắt ngắn -> Làm gián đoạn để ai ngừng nói; kết thúc cái gì một cách đột ngột/không như dự tính.
Ví dụ
The Bachelor shockingly sent a frontrunner (người có triển vọng thành công) home on Wednesday's special episode of the ABC dating show -- and it happened mid-date... seconds after she was cuddled up, kissing him and sitting on his lap. When Victoria Paul asked to talk through their speed bumps in an effort to move forward, Peter cut her short, revealing that he just doesn't see a future between them.
It started on her first day at college in 2014. When Divya Kandukuri, then a first-year student at Delhi’s elite Lady Shri Ram College, suggested going to the canteen during a break, other freshmen immediately cut her short and chastised (đánh đập, trừng phạt) her: “It is not a canteen. It is called a café.” No one objected to “canteen” back home in her coastal town of Ongole in Andhra Pradesh, but the girls here used a fancier word. Kandukuri remembers that slight vividly. It made her feel alienated (bị bệnh tâm thần).
“Yes, very challenging because we swam as a group. No one gets left behind so we had to wait for the slow swimmers. The only problem was that the current was really strong,” said Macarine. Last Monday, February 25, 2020, Macarine and 12 other swimmers, who had just started swimming in the open waters, crossed from Buluan Island to the Buluan Port in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay for a total of 2.7 kilometers. They were supposed to cover 3.5 kilometers from Buluan Island to Serendipity Isle but had to cut it short because of the strong currents (dòng nước mạnh). Nevertheless, Macarine said it was still a record because no one else had swum across Sibugay Bay.
