In an uproar

    一片哗然

    乌克兰当局任命一名24岁的女子为内政部副部长，该女曾在社交媒体上传自己的裸照。此事引发了很大的争议。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Ukraine was in an uproar Monday over the appointment as deputy interior minister of a 24-year-old woman who made her name by posing nude and working for a Russian-backed party.

    The surprise pick was quietly revealed last Thursday and went largely unnoticed until bloggers and politicians found it on the ministry's official website.

    Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov is a somewhat controversial figure who often uses Facebook to criticize his rivals and disperse information that does not always correlate with facts.

    报道中的in an uproar就是“一片哗然”。Uproar指很多人愤怒不安、反应强烈的情形。例如：

    The business community is in an uproar over the new tax law.

    新税法一出台，商界就一片哗然。
