长释义：
This word applies to major issues and events, such as war and religious conflict: a period of civil strife. Like its Old French source, the original meaning of the English noun strife and the English verb strive had to do with an argument or quarrel. But the verb strive has lost that earlier sense, and now means to try hard to do or achieve something.
这个词适用于重大问题和事件，例如战争和宗教冲突：内乱时期。与其古法语来源一样，英语名词 strife 和英语动词 strive 的原始含义与争论或争吵有关。但是动词 strive 已经失去了早期的意义，现在意味着努力去做或取得某事。

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
