词源：
strenuous (adj.)”characterized by great effort,” mid-15c. (implied in strenuously), from Latin strenuus “active, brisk, quick, nimble, prompt, vigorous, keen.” It is probably cognate with Greek strēnes, strēnos “keen, strong,” strenos “arrogance, eager desire,” Old English stierne “hard, severe, keen” (see stern (adj.)).
Mocked by Ben Jonson as a pedantic neologism in “Poetaster” (1601). The sense of “requiring much energy” is recorded by 1670s. Related: Strenuousness; strenuosity.Related entries & more

费力的（形容词）“以巨大的努力为特征”，15世纪中期。 （隐含“奋力”），源自拉丁语 strenuus，意为“活跃、轻快、快速、敏捷、及时、有力、敏锐”。它可能与希腊语 strēnes 同源，strēnos “敏锐、强大”，strenos “傲慢、热切的欲望”，古英语 stierne “坚硬、严厉、敏锐”（参见 stern (adj.)）。本·琼森在《诗人》（1601）中嘲笑它是迂腐的新词。 “需要大量能量”的感觉是在1670年代记录的。相关：费力；费力。相关条目及更多
