According to psychologist Angela Duckworth and colleagues, "grit" is defined as "perseverance and passion for long-term goals".

What would be the closest term for "grit" in Chinese?

Google gives me "sand" and "gravel" as its meaning.

砂砾 (shālì) = gravel
沙子 (shāzi) = sand
粗砂石 (cū shā shí) = coarse sandstone

Thanks, Nate
PS. I've also inquired Professor Duckworth and still waiting for her response.

You should offer a sentence, because the translation will vary, depending on context.

grit is sand or gravel!

Sense of "pluck, spirit, firmness of mind" first recorded American
English, 1808.

Duckworth's idiomatic definition is, well, not worth a duck, in my opinion.

Here grit is 毅力， willpower

如果他们颁发毅力金牌，卡伦应该站在领奖台上。

If they gave gold medals for grit, Karen would be right up there on the winners' podium.

but you might choose 勇气 courage or 坚韧不拔。
