中文俗語 “說曹操，曹操就到” 用來描述 “正當談論某個人的時候，那個人就出現了” 的情景。英語表達 “talk of the devil 談論魔鬼” 也能談論同樣的情況。人們有時會把 “talk of the devil” 中的動詞 “talk” 替換成 “speak”，即 “speak of the devil”，意思不變。
例句
Talk of the devil; we were just talking about you.
說曹操，曹操就到！我們正說你呢。
I can’t believe Tom’s leaving! Speak of the devil, here comes Tom.
真不敢相信湯姆要走了！說他，他就到了。湯姆來了。
