resort to
释义：resort作为名词形式出现时，“度假村”这一义项一般要更常见一些，但其实a last resort就是我们中国人常说的“破釜沉舟”。作为动词短语的话指的是“诉诸于”某个并非常规或理想的解决方案，在留学文书里可以从侧面体现遇到的障碍之大。
例句：
More typically, rural communities resort to a form of collective ownership to keep the local grocery in business.
When that did not work, she resorted to accusations.
