Outage是指某些東西不再可用的狀態(例如電力或供水中斷)。它真的out 。另一方面, shortage outage ,而是指數量不足和不足的情況。示例: There's a power outage in the neighborhood. I don't know when it will come on again. (附近停電了,不知道什麼時候能恢復。) 例子: We have a shortage of teachers in the country. So, many people come from overseas to teach. (這個國家很缺老師,所以很多都是從國外來的。) 例子: We're short five dollars, we won't be able to buy everything. (5 美元是不夠的。你不可能把它們都買下來。)
