Resort

词性:v. n
音标: [rɪˈzɔːrt]
释义:诉诸,采取,度假地,应急措施,求助,凭借

The noun resort means “turning to something or someone else for assistance.” You tried everything to figure out your math homework on your own, so asking your dad for help was your last resort.

Resort, pronounced “re-ZORT,” is also a verb that means “to adopt a course of action to improve your situation.” It’s when you use that last resort: if you can’t convince your mom to let you go rock-climbing, you will resort to begging. Resort also means a fancy hotel, usually in a very scenic location, or a place you go often — when your friends didn’t know where you were, they checked your resorts: the gym and the park.
