English term or phrase: smash cut
Definition from New York Film Academy:
An abrupt cut from one scene to another without a smooth transition.

Example sentence(s):
  • The impact of a smash cut is strengthened when it juxtaposes two scenes with wildly different tones. For instance, horror films often use the jarring nature of a smash cut to transition from a gruesome in-progress murder scene to a happy or peaceful moment. MasterClass
  • If you’ve got a loud scene that immediately goes to a quiet scene or vice versa, this is where you’d use the smash cut. You want to use it when you’re transitioning between two completely different scenes, emotions, or narratives and you need to make an abrupt transition. Pond5 blog
  • Suddenly, there is a visual and an audio smash cut to introduce Samuel L. Jackson’s character: the visual smash cut is created by going from the girl dancing, with music background, to a close up of a clock. Introduction to Film & Media Studies

Spanish translation:corte directo
Definition:
Corte directo. A diferencia de otros tipos de cortes más sublimes, como lo pueden ser los mencionados anteriormente, el corte directo se hace en la edición en el cine de forma drástica. Es decir, una escena se corta inmediatamente para ir a otra, sin ningún tipo de aviso o indicación. Es un tipo de transición bastante normal en el cine y en la pantalla chica, el cual se estila usar cada vez más.
