A: I think “Sons and Lovers” is Lawrence autobiography.
我认为劳伦斯的《儿子与情人》是一部自传。
B: I am up in arms against this idea. It is just a novel.
我完全不赞同自己的观点，他只是一部小说。
1. 解释
Up in arms中的arm的意思是指“武器”，那么整个短语的意思是“进行武装斗争”，引申为“竭力反对，持反对意见”。对话中“I am up in arms against this idea. ”的意思是“我不赞同这个意见。”
2 例句
e.g. All of the colonies were up in arms against him.
所有的殖民地均奋起与他作斗争。
e.g. I was against this from the start.
我是完全反对的呀。
