Strive Attempt Straɪv Truth 我们应该为真理而奋斗 重点词汇 V 努力

To strive is to endeavor, reach, or strain for something above or beyond. We strive for self-improvement, a better world, or success in general.

The Old French origin of this word, estriver ("quarrel," "dispute"), had its 800th birthday not too long ago. Though it shares its roots with strife ("conflict"), it changed over the years (centuries, actually) to describe something more like a conflict with oneself, the attempt to overcome limitations and stay focused on a goal, regardless of whatever quarrels or disputes come up.
