“兴风作浪”，汉语成语，字面意思是“raise winds and waves”，比喻煽动情绪，挑起事端，可以翻译为“incite trouble and create confusion；stir up trouble [disorder]”。也可用英文俚语“make waves”表示，有“to cause trouble or controversy, especially that which affects the course of a situation”的意思。
例句：
不准你在这兴风作浪。
You're not allowed to make waves here.
你可能会觉得这里有些事看不顺眼，但是你最好别作妖。我们的大老板可不爱听怨言。上一个兴风作浪的人第二天就被解雇了。
You may see things here you don't like. But it's better not to make waves -- the big boss doesn't like complaints, and the last guy to make waves got fired the very next day.
