小知识
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.

词语辨析
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。
