resilience
基础篇： the ability to become strong, happy, or successful again after a difficult situation or event
例句： New Yorkers demonstrated extraordinary unity and resilience in the wake of 9/11.
进阶篇： resilience 是不可数名词，英汉字典中一般给出的解释是“还原能力、适应能力，” 但其实我们把它理解为“坚强”就好了。从英英释义可以看出，这个词强调的是能够经受考验，可以指个人、机构，可以指国家、制度。
援救工作和其他工作不一样，它需要从业者心理非常坚强。
Rescue work differs from other types of work in that it requires a tremendous level of mental resilience.

在这句中，resilience的对象是民主制度，可以翻译为“对民主生命力的考验”

根据语境，这句的 it is running out of resilience 可以理解为“已经快撑不住了。”
应用篇：
