set by ears

第二、 解词释义

此语源于一个斗狗的故事。有两个好事之徒以狗打架赌博,就分别揪住狗的耳朵让它们相斗。转义为“使人争吵,使人不和”,还可以表示“因新发现而引起轰动或使人震惊”之意。

e.g.They got on well enough together until the question of promotion 3 set them all by the ears.

他们原来一直相处得很好,后来提职一事引起了他们之间的不和。

e.g.Uncle always seems to set the family by the ears.

叔叔好像总是使一家人不和。

e.g.She set the whole neighborhood by the ears.

她使四邻不和。

释义2:使人震惊,一鸣惊人

e.g.He seemed a very lively young man, certain of his own abilities and eager 4 to set people by the ears.

看来他是个非常活跃的青年,对自己的能力十分自信,且急于一鸣惊人。
