词源记忆法
英语单词devil（魔鬼）的真正历史比所传devil乃do-evil（作恶）之缩略的古老传说要复杂得多。《旧约全书》中的Satan（撒旦）实际上是devil的前身，它的意思是adversary（敌手），即“上帝和人类的敌手”。当希伯来文的《旧约全书》被译成希腊文时，译者将撒旦翻译成了diabolos一词，而diabolos在希腊文中原义是“诽谤者”，是圣经的影响才使它获得我们今天熟悉的词义“魔鬼”或“恶魔”的。=与devil词义接近的单词demon（恶魔）同样源自希腊语。它源自希腊单词daimon，本意是“半神、守护神、邪神”。在希腊文的《圣经》中，用daimon来表示“异教神灵、不洁神灵”。因此，英语单词demon泛指各种恶魔，而devil原本专指撒旦，后来才泛指恶魔。=devil：['dev(ə)l]n.魔鬼，撒旦，恶棍，淘气鬼vt.虐待，折磨。
