從上下文猜測，這個被 Time 雜誌暗示為 "devil in the flesh" 的人可能有一些很不堪的行為被揭發。"In the flesh" 字義上為 "活生生的、活著的" 的意思，加了 devil 在前面，似乎可以翻為中文的 "披著人皮的惡魔"。

個人淺見，僅供參考。

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Shirley. but it's not what I wanted. I should've given you more context. it was my fault. the phrase was used in the sentence "Time magazine suggested that he represented "the devil in the flesh" to the education establishment. ". looking forward to your new comments.

很多种译法

Explanation:
意思是指表面看上去很好，本质却是坏的。根据不同的语境，有很多译法：
人面兽心
道貌岸然
表里不一
伪君子
说一套，做一套

在你给的例句中，作“虚伪性”，“教育体制的虚伪性”处理可能比较好。

这个词用来形容小孩子时，上面的说法就不合适了。可以说“看上去像个小天使，其实满肚子坏水。“
