一个能够起到警示作用的事件就可以被称为 “a wake-up call，警钟 ”。为的是警告一个人避免重犯同样错误或防止将来出现更大问题。

例句
The plane crash was a wake-up call for airlines never to compromise on safety.
When I failed my mock exam it was a real wake-up call. From then on I studied and revised hard.
请注意
如果你突然发现什么不好的事情已经发生了或者正在进行中，这种情况可以用“wake up to the fact”来表达，意思是觉醒、醒悟过来。

例句
You need to wake up to the fact that you are not going to pass your exams if you don't start working harder.
It took a while for my parents to wake up to the fact that their business was failing.

如果有人因为一些小事而做出不相称或不恰当的激烈反应，那么你就可以说“they are making a song and dance about something”；也就是汉语里说的“小题大做”。不过注意这是一个非正式表达。
例句
All right, calm down! You don’t have to make such a song and dance about it. You take the remote control. We can watch what you want to. I really don’t mind.
When I made a tiny comment about his driving he made such a song and dance about it. He was angry for ages.
Don’t make a song and dance about it. You don’t have to have any potatoes if you don’t want.
请注意
另一个和 song 歌曲有关的表达是 for a song，意思是非常便宜地。
例句
Quick, if you want a bargain, there’s a sale on at the supermarket. The clothes are going for a song.
In the New Year sales I picked up a new TV for a song. It’s not the latest model but it was a great price.
