　　第一、迷你对话

A: Mary, I heard you moved again.

玛丽，我听说你又搬家了。

B: Yeah. I could not stand living here. There is always much noise in the neighborhood.

是呀，我再也受不住住在那里了，那里总是有那么大的吵闹声。

A: You mean noise? How could it be?

你是说噪音吗？怎么会这样呢？

B: You know, on weekends when we wanted to have late rise in the morning, our neighbour started to raise Cain.

你知道，周末早上，我们想玩起一会儿，结果我们的邻居就开始吵吵嚷嚷起来。

第二、地道表达：

1. 习语

raise Cain

2. 解词释义

Cain是人名“该隐”，该隐是基督教《圣经》中亚当的长子，他曾经杀害自己的弟弟，短语raise Cain现在用来指“引起骚乱”，主要强调“大吵大闹”的场面。

第三、支持范例

假如我得不到公平的一份，我就要生气。

My wife is going to raise Cain if she see me in conversation with you.

我妻子定看到我和您在一起说话会大吵大闹的。
