In a housing crisis that shows no end, the government is stepping in as a buyer of last resort.某种身份+of last resort通常可以表示汉语中“兜底”的意思，比如a lender of last resort, a supporter of last resort。 With every passing day, this unsettling and foresighted novel — published in 2006 as a warning to Russia about the direction of travel under Mr. Putin — reads more and more like the news.这句话里，我觉得有点意思的点就是本来是一个小说，读起来越来越像新闻这种关联，可以学习一下。
