speak of the devil 是在18世紀(jì)初開始流行的。當(dāng)時(shí)有一種迷信的說法，也就是：speak of the devil and he's sure to appear。如果你說到魔鬼，魔鬼就一定會(huì)現(xiàn)身。對(duì)，后來就簡(jiǎn)化成：speak of the devil，這和我們中文的習(xí)語“說曹操，曹操就到”有異曲同工之妙。
【例句】
Shall we go? Oh, speak of the devil, here he is now.
噢，他來了，真是說到曹操，曹操就到。
We were just talking about Frank when he came in the door. Speak of the devil and he appears.
我們正在談?wù)摳ヌm克的時(shí)候弗蘭克就進(jìn)了門。真是說到曹操，曹操就到。
