Question

behest n.命令；紧急要求 (1) 他们奉国王之命逮捕了他。(2) 在秘书的催促下，我给办公室打了电话(3) 关键在于我们与当地科学家合作,并听从当地机构的指示。 Behest rhymes with "request" and they almost mean the same thing, if you give your request a little authoritative oomph, just a tad bit of "or else." Another difference between these words is that you can't use behest as a verb: You can't behest someone. You act according to their behest. The root word here is the Old English hehaes, means "a vow."
