喜樂美語
  1. 1

    This word belongs to the devil in the old German story of Faust — the one who offers a man knowledge and power in exchange for his soul. That devil’s name is Mephistopheles. Mephistophelean is the form with an ending that usually means “of or like him,” so dictionaries may treat it as another name for that devil, while in real sentences you more often see it as a describing word: a Mephistophelean smile, plan, or bargain — smooth, clever, , and not to be trusted. It is a literature and high-style word. You will meet it in a book class, not in a shop.
