At your elbow意味著就在你身邊。換句話說,當作者說Speak of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow ,他的意思是,如果你談論某人,那個人就會出現在你旁邊。 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. (當我需要時,我最好的朋友總是在我身邊。) Ex: My manager needed me at his elbow during the meeting. = My manager needed me next to him during the meeting. (我的經理在會議期間需要我在他身邊。)
