from 早餐英语|实用英文口语
不少小伙伴听到这个表达会感到困惑,"speak" 是说话,"devil" 是魔鬼,字面直译好像是 "讨论恶魔"。但实际使用场景却充满趣味!今天卡卡老师带你了解这个有趣的表达。"Speak of the devil"意思是 "说曹操,曹操到"。用于当正在谈论的人突然出现时的调侃。这个短语的据说起源于基督教,基督教中,传说提到魔鬼会招致其现身;例如:I was telling John about your trip, and speak of the devil, here you are!我正和约翰聊你的旅行,你就来了!原声再现:Yeah, you’re right.I need to tell him.是,你说得对。我得告诉他。Speak of the devil. 说曹操,曹操到。Hey, Dad.嗨,爸。-I think you're scared, 'cause I think you know that there's no way him being here is a coincidence.我觉得你在害怕,因为你知道他出现在这里并不是巧合。-Speak of the devil.说曹操,曹操到。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
