英解︰to create a difficult or agitated situation
招惹麻煩，引起騷動
動詞片語「stir up」是「煽動，攪動」的意思，「hornet's nest」則是指「大黃蜂的巢」，因此「stir up a hornet's nest」字面上的意思是「捅蜂窩」，引申為「招惹麻煩」或「引起騷動」的意思。

哈啦雙語週報 We All Scream for Ice Cream
線上收聽
Jung: It's so hot today!
Sam: Then let's go eat some ice cream! There's nothing like eating it in the summer.
Jung: But I'd rather eat shaved ice. I like eating mango and milk shaved ice in the summer.
Sam: What in the world is shaved ice?
Jung: There's a machine that shaves a block of ice, and then other ingredients like liquid sugar, candied fruits, beans, peanuts and condensed milk are mixed in. And the taste is out of this world!
Sam: It sounds delicious! But I don't see a shaved ice shop anywhere. I wish an ice cream truck would drive by.
Jung: Is that a truck made of ice cream?
Sam: No! In America it's a truck that's like a portable vender, and it plays a special song over a speaker.
Jung: Ha! Sounds like fun! Do you know about ice cream venders in Taiwan? They ride on bicycles and sell ice cream cones and popsicles. They honk a horn to get people's attention ... (horn sound)
Sam: Yeah! It's a Taiwanese ice cream man to the rescue!
Jung: Don't let him get away!

Faced with a damning list of a dozen violations in its biosafety labs, the president of Texas A&M University (TAMU) in College Station vowed today to correct the lapses, which range from unreported toxin exposures to improper protective gear. In a news conference, interim president Edward Davis also noted that any school subjected to the same scrutiny as TAMU "would probably have findings" revealing biosafety violations.
