- hit
overlaps with struck in the physical-impact sense but hit is also the present-tense form of a different verb
- walked out
equivalent to struck in the labor-protest sense but only works as a phrasal verb, not a single word
- occurred to
covers the 'sudden thought' meaning but uses a different grammatical construction (it occurred to + person)
文法句型
struck + object (hit)
struck for + demand (protest)
struck + time (clock)
was/were struck by + (idea / emotion)
