stoic about hardship and toil
吃苦和耐劳是不同的概念。前者指hardship，后者指 work。
Mr Zhang is ascetic and indefatigable.
如果一定要用stoic about，这样说会不会通顺一点：
Mr Zhang is stoic about hardship and toil.
Mr Zhang is ascetic and indefatigable.
如果一定要用stoic about，这样说会不会通顺一点：
Mr Zhang is stoic about hardship and toil.

hard-working
"hard-working" is enough.
For your translation, I think it means 张先生对努力工作非常坚忍（不为所动）, which deviates from the original meaning.
According to your link, if you use "stoic", I think you would convey a negative meaning, as "stoic (斯多葛主義)" is more about 坚忍。

能忍受很多工作 ≠ 吃苦耐劳
吃苦耐劳在中国更多被喻为一种美德，根据你的提问，用"hard-working"足以。
而且 stoic 本身的意思主要不是指吃苦耐劳

| 因为他很坚忍，所以他可以忍受很多辛苦的工作，所以非常吃苦耐劳 对吗？ |
| 我觉得能忍受很多工作应该等于吃苦耐劳，对吗？？ |

: I believe just hard-working is enough. You don't need to make the reading difficult by using terms less known. Simple is aleways better.

@Asker:
不要用 “stoic about hard workings”.
“about” 是用错了的。你可能想说 “对 hard working” (about hard working)，但不应该用 “about”。
例如，“对花粉过敏” 是 “allergic to pollens”, 不是 “allergic about pollens”.
就算你用 “stoic to hard working”，这个表达仍是怪怪的。

| 我是想确认STOIC这个词，在这里这样用可以吗？ 并不是我不知道吃苦耐劳如何表达 |
| I'm normally pretty stoic about goodbyes 这个是DICTIONARY》Com上的例子。他用的是about https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stoic |
