English term

drop an anchor

English to Indonesian Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama subtitle
Seorang polisi berkata kepada rekannya saat tiba di tempat yang diduga merupakan persembunyian seorang pembunuh dan pemerkosa:

John, it's me. I'm here, on site.
I'll drop an anchor.

Apakah artinya "drop an anchor" di sini? Apakah itu sebuah idiom?

Thanks.

Proposed translations

Selected

berhenti

Makna kedua 'drop anchor' menurut Paman Col adalah 'tinggal/menetap di suatu tempat'.

Itu makna dalam bahasa standarnya.

Karena bahasa film sering menggunakan bahasa slang dan sesuai dg konteks percakapan dan peristiwanya, maka berdasarkan makna standar tsb, saya mengusulkan:

drop an anchor = berhenti (di sini)

Jadi, si polisi mengatakan:

I'll drop an anchor = Saya/Aku (akan) berhenti (di sini).

Keterangan: Kata yg di dalam kurung bersifat opsional tergantung konteks yg lebih pasnya.

Ref.:
