Resign to Meaning in English
expression
释义
To accept something unpleasant or unavoidable because you cannot change it. Often implies giving up hope of a better outcome.
用法与细微差别
'Resign to' is usually followed by a noun or gerund ('resign to fate', 'resign to losing'). It's formal and shows a sense of reluctant acceptance, not a physical resignation from a job. Often confused with 'give up', but 'resign to' implies you accept, not just surrender.
