勤劳 and 勤奋
qínláo and qínfèn
Both words mean "hardworking." 勤劳 is applied to daily life, labor, various undertakings, etc., while 勤奋 is mainly applied to study, research, and work.
(1) 这里的人非常勤劳。
(2) 她是一个勤劳而善良的女人。
(3) 他靠勤奋赢得了别人的尊重。
(4) 大家的勤奋工作使得今年公司的业绩出众。
However, when the referent is vague, the two words are interchangeable.
(5) 勤奋（勤劳）是通往成功的必经之路。
这两个词都表示刻苦努力，“勤劳”主要指一般行为（生活、劳动从事某事业等），“勤奋”主要指学习、研究、工作等。当在针对性较为模糊时，两个词是可以互换使用的。
