助记提示
1. strive, strife 是同源词(v <-->f)，因此它们的含义很相近；其实，stride 与 strive, strife 也是同源词，只是 stride 的引申义引申得比较远，因此仅从含义上看不出它们的同源性。
2. 古高地德语：*strit- "fight, combat, contention; quarrel, dispute" => 古法语：*strit- / *strif- "quarrel, dispute" => strife => strive.
3. 古高地德语：*strit- "fight, combat, contention" => *strid- => stride (其字面含义，其实就是两条腿之间的对峙、竞争，两条腿怎样才能形成对峙呢，当然就是叉开腿，形成跨步、跨立姿势)，由此引申出了如今的含义，straddle 就是 stride 的同源同引申义的词.
4. *strid- => *strad- + -le (双写d加-le, 反复体后缀)。
5. strive 和 strife 如今的含义出现了一定的分化，strive 多用来指褒义的努力、尽力在竞争、争斗中获得胜利，而 strife 则多来指中性的竞争、争斗的这种行为。

英文词源
- strive
- strive: [13] Strive was borrowed from Old French estriver ‘quarrel, strive’. It is not certain where this came from, although it has been suggested that it was acquired from Old High German strīt ‘contention’, a relative of English stride. Strife [13] comes from the associated Old French noun estrif.
=> strife - strive (v.)
- c. 1200, "quarrel, contend," from Old French estriver "to quarrel, dispute, resist, struggle, put up a fight, compete," from estrif, estrit "quarrel" (see strife). It became a strong verb (past tense strove) by rhyming association with drive, dive, etc. Meaning "try hard" is from early 14c. Related: Striving.
同义词辨析
attempt, try, endeavour, strive
这些动词均含有"试图，努力，力图"之意。
attempt：较正式用词，侧重已经开始，且希望完成，但常隐含着不一定有预期的结果。
try：普通用词，可与attempt换用，但强调努力或尝试，后跟不定式表示努力或争取；后跟动名词表示尝试。
endeavour：正式用词，指尽最大努力、认真地克服困难去做某事。
strive和endeavour一样，表示付出巨大努力，但strive侧重劳累与紧张，而不强调努力的结果。
