The girls’ interest in rough sport and shooting rats raised eyebrows wherever they went.

试译:这些女孩对粗野运动和射杀老鼠感兴趣,这让她们走到哪里都让人觉得不可理解。

raise eyebrows 是习语,字面意思是“扬起眉毛”,用以表示不赞同或惊讶。

No one raised an eyebrow [=no one expressed surprise] when he announced that he was planning to run for governor. 当他宣布打算竞选州长时,没人感到意外。

His recent public statements have raised (a few) eyebrows. 他最近的公开声明让人们感到惊诧。
