助記提示
1. strive, strife 是同源詞(v <-->f)，因此它們的含義很相近；其實(shí)，stride 與 strive, strife 也是同源詞，只是 stride 的引申義引申得比較遠(yuǎn)，因此僅從含義上看不出它們的同源性。
2. 古高地德語(yǔ)：*strit- "fight, combat, contention; quarrel, dispute" => 古法語(yǔ)：*strit- / *strif- "quarrel, dispute" => strife => strive.
3. 古高地德語(yǔ)：*strit- "fight, combat, contention" => *strid- => stride (其字面含義，其實(shí)就是兩條腿之間的對(duì)峙、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，兩條腿怎樣才能形成對(duì)峙呢，當(dāng)然就是叉開(kāi)腿，形成跨步、跨立姿勢(shì))，由此引申出了如今的含義，straddle 就是 stride 的同源同引申義的詞.
4. *strid- => *strad- + -le (雙寫(xiě)d加-le, 反復(fù)體后綴)。
5. st- (stand => st-) + ride => stride, 當(dāng)然就是站著往前大步走了。
6. stride => straddle.
7. 在大街上騎著馬大跨步行走。

英文詞源
- stride
- stride: [OE] Stride comes from a prehistoric Germanic base *strīd-, whose other descendants (German streiten and Dutch strijden ‘quarrel’, Swedish and Danish strid ‘strife, affliction’) suggest a basic underlying meaning ‘severity, great effort’. There may also be a link with English strife and strive. Straddle [16] comes from a variant of the same base. The use of the plural noun strides for ‘trousers’ dates from the late 19th century.
=> straddle - stride (v.)
- Old English stridan (past tense strad, past participle striden), "to straddle, mount" (a horse), from Proto-Germanic *stridanan (cognates: Middle Low German strede "stride, strive;" Old Saxon stridian, Danish stride, Swedish strida "to fight," Dutch stridjen, Old High German stritan, German etreiten "to fight, contend, struggle," Old Norse strier "strong, hard, stubborn, severe").
The sense connection in the various Germanic forms is perhaps "strive, make a strong effort;" the senses having to do with walking and standing are found only in English and Low German. Meaning "to walk with long or extended steps" is from c. 1200. Cognate words in most Germanic languages mean "to fight, struggle;" the notion behind the English usage might be the effort involved in making long strides, striving forward. - stride (n.)
- "a step in walking," especially a long one, from Old English stride "a stride, a step," from the root of stride (v.). Compare Dutch strijd, Old High German strit, German Streit "fight, contention, combat," Swedish and Danish strid "combat, contention." From c. 1300 as a measure of distance roughly the length of a stride. Figurative meaning "advance rapidly, make progress" is from c. 1600. Of animals (especially horses) from early 17c. To take (something) in stride (1832), i.e. "without change of gait," originally is of horses leaping hedges in the hunting-field; figurative sense attested from 1902. To hit (one's) stride is from horse-racing. Jazz music stride tempo is attested from 1938. Meaning "a standing with the legs apart, a straddle" is from 1590s.
