Outage是指某些东西不再可用的状态(例如电力或供水中断)。它真的out 。另一方面, shortage outage ,而是指数量不足和不足的情况。示例: There's a power outage in the neighborhood. I don't know when it will come on again. (附近停电了,不知道什么时候能恢复。) 例子: We have a shortage of teachers in the country. So, many people come from overseas to teach. (这个国家很缺老师,所以很多都是从国外来的。) 例子: We're short five dollars, we won't be able to buy everything. (5 美元是不够的。你不可能把它们都买下来。)
