Question

这个句之中的raised eyebrows 是美国固定搭配,还是语境推测?
Last year Mitsuo Setoyama,who was then education minister,raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World WarII had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect for parents".

Answer 1

raised eyebrow -在这句大概是不可置信`惊讶`荒谬的形容词.其实在很多句子里raise eyebrow也是如此意思.
全文意思大概是某某日本先生,眉毛竖起(raise eyebrow)!的争论着自二战后美国引进的自由主义改革会削弱日本社会对家长/长辈的尊敬.
