Explanation:
Karena 'a shout away' merupakan idiom yang menyatakan jarak yang dekat antara dua tempat yg bersangkutan (diibaratkan dalam jarak teriakan), mungkin lebih baik jika langsung diterjemahkan dengan arti idiom tersebut apabila tidak menemukan idiom yang memiliki arti yang sama dalam Bahasa Indonesia.
