地道表达：
kick up a row
解词释义：
row是名词，意思是“大的噪声，吵闹，争吵”，常用于口语的是kick up a row或make a row，指的是“大吵大闹”或“发出吵闹声”。表示因......而大吵大闹，在短语的后面接介词about，即：kick up a row about。
支持范例：
If I refuse to go to the theater, my wife is sure to kick up a row.
如果我拒绝去剧院，我妻子定会大吵一顿。
I don’t think we will kick up a row about such a small mistake.
我认为不值得为此小小错误而闹得天翻地覆。
