One way to hold it: the place you go to. Everyone heads for the same beach town in summer — that is one kind of going-to. And when things go wrong you also go to something for help: the thing you try first, the thing you try when nothing else is left. Holiday resort and last resort are the same idea, aimed at different needs.

可以想成「大家會去的那個地方」。夏天一到，人潮都往同一個海邊小鎮跑——這是一種「投奔」。事情不順的時候，你也會去找某個東西幫忙：最先想到的那個、什麼都沒用時剩下的最後那個。度假勝地和 last resort 其實是同一個想法，只是投奔的目的不一樣。From the word’s history
Resort is from Old French resortir "to go out again" (re- "again" + sortir "go out"); the noun in late 14c. meant "that to which one has recourse for aid or assistance", and the "place people go to for recreation" sense appears by 1754. "In the last resort" (1670s) renders French en dernier ressort, originally a court of final appeal.
resort 來自古法語 resortir（re-「再」＋ sortir「出去」）。十四世紀晚期的名詞意思是「人們求助時投奔的對象」，到 1754 年才出現「度假去的地方」這個用法；last resort 則來自法語 en dernier ressort，原本指最終審級的法院。所以「投奔、求助於」是這個字底下的那條線，度假勝地反而是後來才長出來的。
