Episode Title | All-Inclusive Vacations |
Phrase | resort |
Text | The word "resort," in this podcast, means a nice place to go on vacation: "This ski resort has lots of snow, beautiful views, private rooms with fireplaces, and a very good restaurant." A "last resort" is the last thing that one can do in a situation if nothing else works: "If we need more money at the end of the month, we can sell the car as a last resort." The phrase "to resort to (something)" means to do something that one doesn't want to do because there aren't any other options: "If we can't get this project done ourselves, we'll resort to hiring outside consultants to finish the job." Or, "The robber resorted to violence when his victims refused to give him their money." |
