in the last resort

in the last resort
1) как последнее средство, в крайнем случае; в последнюю очередь (тж. as a last resort) [этим. фр. en dernier ressort]

I shall seek his advice, but it will be in the last resort. (DEI) — Если я и обращусь к нему за советом, то только в самом крайнем случае.

2) в конце концов, в конечном счёте

What follows may only apply to myself. If it does, I am sorry, but it cannot be helped: in the last resort, a man can do no more than translate his own experience into words. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Self-Selected Essays’, ‘A Defence of Dull Company’) — Все, что из этого вытекает, может относиться только ко мне. Если это так, то я очень сожалею, но поделать ничего не могу: ведь в конечном счете человек может выразить свой жизненный опыт только в словах и больше ни в чем.
