Speak of the devil

(说曹操曹操到。)

本句是一句非常老的古话,但仍是非常有用的话。在讲话中提到某人的时候,该人正好出现,这时就可以用Speak of the devil来欢迎他的出现,这比单纯的How are you?或It’s you 要好多了。

对话一:

A:Look,who’s here?

(嗨,看看谁来了。)

B:It’s Tom.

(是汤姆。)

A:Well,speak of the devil.

(是啊,说曹操曹操到。)

B:We were just talking about him.

(我们正好谈到他。)

A:That’s quite a coincidence.

(这可真是个巧合。)

B:It sure is.

(是啊,真是巧。)

对话二:

A:Well,speak of the devil.

(哇,真是说曹操曹操到。)

B:What do you mean?

(为什么这样说。)

A:I was just think about him the other day.

(我日前才刚刚想起你的。)

B:You were?

(真的?)

每日一句:

We were just talking about him.

(我们真好谈到他。)

For example:

We were just discussing the issue.

(我们刚刚真在讨论这个问题。)

词汇大总结:

devil 魔鬼,人

coincidence 巧合

mean 意思

the other day 前些日子
