"devil" in Chinese (Traditional)

魔鬼惡魔

Definition

「devil」指某些宗教中的邪惡靈體,通常被視為上帝或善的對立面。它也可以用來形容非常壞、殘忍或讓人頭痛的人,還常出現在固定表達中。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

它通常是可數名詞:'a devil',而 'the Devil' 常特指基督教傳統中的那個主要邪惡形象。小寫 'devil' 常用於泛指或比喻。常見表達有 'speak of the devil'、'the devil is in the details'。不要完全等同於 'demon':兩者意思接近,但 'devil' 往往更具體,或更常見於習語中。
