Parts of the Eyes

Body idioms with “eyebrows”

To raise eyebrows 令人惊讶；侧目

Back in the past, it was much easier to shock people.

Things that are pretty normal these days would stillraise a few eyebrows.Perhaps a woman becoming CEO of a company would raise eyebrows. Or wearing jeans and a T-shirt for a dinner party would raise eyebrows.

在过去，让人们感到震惊要容易得多。如今看似平常的事情，当时可能会引起一些惊讶。也许一位女性成为公司的首席执行官会让人惊讶。或者穿着牛仔裤和T恤参加晚宴会让人惊讶。

When something raises eyebrows, it slightly shocks people or catches their attention.It wouldn’t be anything too extreme — just enough to make people stop reading their newspaper and look up in surprise.

当某事“raise eyebrows”（引起侧目）时，它轻微地震惊了人们或者吸引了他们的注意力。这不会是太极端的事情——刚好足以让人们停下阅读报纸，抬头以惊讶的眼神看过来。
