English term or phrase: ring
Seorang cowok memergoki bahwa cewek yg dia sukai adalah anggota "safety patrol" di kampus... yang menurut si cowok "safety patrol" itu kurang populer dan gaul...

- Safety patrol.
- Yeah. What do you think? Lame?
- No, not… not exactly lame.
- But there's no… ring to it.

Apa ya artinya "ring" yang diucapkan si cewek di sini?

Thanks.

Indonesian translation:istilah yg menarik (enak didengar)
Explanation:
Menurut rujukan berikut:

have a ring to it = nama/frasa yg terdengar menarik/bagus di telinga (atau enak didengar).

Ref.:
(have) a ring to it
a name or phrase that sounds attractive to the ear of the listener, either because it rhymes or the first letters are the same, or it makes the subject of it feel better.

He had a record for robbery, so we named him Ronnie Ram Raider. It definitely (have) a ring to it.

mengesankan


Explanation:

Tapi, [tugas] itu... kurang mengesankan.

Mengapa mengesankan?
Ini kata penghalus saja (lihat pertanyaan selanjutnya). Di samping itu, kurang mengesankan bermakna bersayap: bisa harfiah (tidak membekas di ingatan dan hati), bisa kiasan (buruk, payah/lame, dst.)

Mengapa kurang bukan tidak?
Dilema penerjemah. Budaya di sana lebih (walau tidak selalu) terus-terang, budaya di sini lebih menahan diri.

Ganjil rasanya di sini ketika sedang PDKT kita mengkritik pekerjaan si gebetan. Nah, kurang itu mewakili penahanan diri, sebagaimana kurang menarik untuk jelek, atau kurang ilmu untuk bodoh.

Jadi, terpulang ke kebijaksanaan penerjemah: sebagaimana adanya, atau sesuai dengan lokalitas.
