'Take the line of least resistance' có từ resistance là chống cự, kháng cự -> cụm từ này nghĩa là chọn con đường dễ nhất, chọn phương pháp dễ nhất (the easiest, but not necessarily the best or most honourable, course of action).
Ví dụ
People will always follow the line of least resistance. Store loyalty cards, coupons and promotional codes are barriers to collection. Card-linking technology removes this friction by linking debit and credit card purchases to the merchant’s loyalty programme.

Something that puzzles many ordinary people is why anyone would hack them in the first place. What is it about our run-of-the-mill lives that could possibly interest anyone else out there? “Many hackers do it for fun or notoriety,” Neale says. “There’s a wide range of different people with different motivations, but they’re unlikely to target us individually. Rather, they throw a net out there and capture the personal data of multiple users. But if you are difficult to see online, hackers will just move on – they’re inherently lazy people and take the line of least resistance.”
