jehu ['dʒi:hju:]  n. 开快车者；马车夫；耶户。耶户是《圣经·旧约》中的以色列国王，他谋杀了亚哈、耶洗别和太阳神的先知们，以快速驾驶战车而闻名，但是他着急那么快驾车是干什么去呢？看看《圣经》中的故事吧。

以利沙差遣一个预言者门徒膏立耶户作以色列王，并吩咐他击杀亚哈全家。耶户立即采取行动。他追击正在耶斯列疗伤的以色列王约兰。守望的人看见一大群人逐渐逼近，最后向王禀告说：“车赶得甚猛，像宁示的孙子耶户的赶法。”以色列王约兰及犹大王亚哈谢上前打听耶户的意图何在。耶户反问道：“你母亲耶洗别的淫行邪术这样多，焉能平安呢？”约兰正欲转身逃跑，耶户一箭射穿他的心窝。他的尸首被抛在拿伯的田间，借此报应了亚哈流无辜人血的罪。 耶户和手下接着在米吉多把亚哈谢杀了。耶户施行闪电突击，一举便杀了两个王。

该轮到耶洗别了！耶户凯旋归来，到了耶斯列，耶洗别立即擦粉梳头，从王宫的窗户往外观看。耶户对此全无兴趣。他吩咐侍从说：“把她扔下来！”他们遵命把她扔下去，她的血溅在墙上和马上，尸首则被马践踏。埋葬她的人只寻得她的头骨、脚和手掌。这一切均应验了以利亚的预言：‘狗必吃她的肉；她的尸首必在耶斯列田间如同粪土。’

有兴趣的朋友翻译一下这个从网上看到的关于Jehu的故事吧！
Last Saturday we took the train to New York to go a dinner in downtown Manhattan. We got a cab at Grand Central and the driver took off on a sprint down Fifth Avenue constantly weaving in and out, accelerating instantly to find the smallest opening in another lane and challenging other drivers for running room. I told him we were in no hurry but to no avail so we just hung on for dear life. Arriving breathless at the dinner I was at a loss for a word to describe our driver but now I know he was a Jehu.

thank you very much
