興風作浪，漢語成語，字面意思是raise winds and waves，比喻煽動情緒，挑起事端，可以翻譯為incite trouble and create confusion；stir up trouble [disorder]。也可用英文俚語make waves表示，有to cause trouble or controversy1, especially that which affects the course of a situation的意思。

例句：

不準你在這興風作浪。

Youre not allowed to make waves here.

你或許會感覺這里有的事看不順眼，但你最好別作妖。大家的大老板可不喜歡聽怨言。上一個興風作浪的人第二天就被解雇了。

You may see things here you dont like. But its better not to make waves -- the big boss doesnt like complaints, and the last guy to make waves got fired the very next day.
