At your elbow意味着就在你身边。换句话说,当作者说Speak of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow ,他的意思是,如果你谈论某人,那个人就会出现在你旁边。 Ex: My best friend is always at my elbow when I need her. = My best friend is always next to me to support me when I need her. (当我需要时,我最好的朋友总是在我身边。) Ex: My manager needed me at his elbow during the meeting. = My manager needed me next to him during the meeting. (我的经理在会议期间需要我在他身边。)
