重点分析
- resort: n.旅游度假村，胜地
今天刚学会的词，resort作动词表示凭借，诉诸于。例如：resort to force。
作名词时，可表示凭借的东西，如，pass without resort to cheating；或表示常去的地方，如，This restaurant is my favorite resort; 以及休闲度假的胜地。
本文使用的是最后一种意思。A resort is a place used for relaxation or recreation.
resort所指的胜地，不仅仅是指风光秀美，更是指集餐饮、旅游、休闲、度假为一体的地方。所以可翻成度假村。
这里有一个以前忽略了的地方，迪斯尼世界公园，我们都知道叫做Disney World或者Theme Park，而不知道它正式的全名是“Walt Disney World Resort”。用上resort的感觉，就比Park要大气多了。 - martyr: n.殉教者，烈士，可以指宗教意义上的殉教，也可以泛指为理想和信念而死。
- collar: n.狗项圈
