  Up in arms

  

  Up in arms的意思是起来进行武装斗争,或者非常愤怒,准备打架。我们来举个例子:

  例句-1: "All us students are up in arms at the news the school is raising our tuition ten percent."

  这句话的意思是:"当我们学生听到学校要提高百分之十的学费时,我们都火冒三丈。"

  下面我们要举的例子是一个国会议员在和一个同事谈论新的税收提案:

  例句-2: "No way am I going to vote for a bill to raise income tax again. The voters back home are already up in arms about how much the government takes out of their pay already and I have to run for re-election this fall."

  这位议员说:"我绝不会投票支持再次增加所得税的提案。我们州的选民对政府现在从他们工资里扣除的税的数量已经非常恼火了。而我今年还要竞选连任。"

  As years go by, individuals would experience respective events, that would lead to the development on their own personalities for sure. Especially for young people, most of them would easily up in arms on slightly argument, but that's issue seems become milder while they turn to be more matured.

  随着年月的增长,人们会经历不同的事件,那绝对会导致他们在自我性格发展上的不同。特别是年轻人,大部分在年轻的时候都会因为一些小事摩拳擦掌的,但在他们成熟一点后就会变的温顺很多。

  How will you deal with impolite people?

  你会如何应对那些不礼貌的人呢?

  Personally, those impolite people are individuals who are rude and inconsiderate, being around them would only arouse my feeling of going up in arms, if it possible, I would just stay away from them to avoid conflict. If the case comes to I have to spend time with those annoying people, I would reason with them to see if we could agree to disagree.

  个人来说,那些不礼貌的人是些五大三粗,毫不设身处地为人着想的人,在他们旁边,指挥让我感觉到很愤怒,如果有可能,我会尽可能远离他们以避免冲突。但是如果我必须和他们共处,我会看看是否有可能跟他们说说道理,求同存异。
