"Face that would stop a clock" = khuôn mặt đến đồng hồ cũng dừng luôn -> nghĩa là khuôn mặt xấu xí.

Ví dụ
A normal person, confronted with a lady who, to put it politely, would not win the Miss India contest, might say, “Look at that woman! She has a face that would stop a clock.” A diplomat would say, “Ah, that lady’s face would make time stand still.”

There are plenty of options here to create a character with a face that would stop a clock, thanks largely to the dental (răng) selections (which range from corn-kernel yellow to missing entirely).

I take my dog (always on a lead) around the Demesne, Muckross, Dinis cottage (nhà tranh), Bricín bridge, Copper mines, Blue pool etc. – most people are very friendly, but now & then you’d see a face that would stop a clock with hatred when they see the dog.

She appears to have a face that would stop a clock and raise hell with small watches, bless her heart. - Celia Rivenbark, freelance (làm tự do) columnist.
