“停水”用英文怎么说？

“停水”的英文不是“stop water”，地道的说法如下：

1.The water got cut off.

2.The water was shut off.

3.The water is off.

水用完了，可以说：

We're out of water.

“停水”的书面正式用语是water outage

outage译为“停止供应期，断供期”，water outage也就是断水期。

“停电”英文怎么说呢？

1.The electricity had been cut off.

2.The electricity supply is stopped.

3.The electricity is off.

关于“停电”，英文中更常使用的词其实是“power”：

power cut：多指人为因素的停电，主动切断电源供应；

power failure：一般指因天气、雷电或设备故障等造成的非人为因素停电；

如果是突然停电，不知什么原因造成，可直接表达为：power outage.

The food in the freezer had thawed during a power cut.

冰箱里的食物在停电期间化开了。

A power failure created an emergency in traffic and transportation.

停电使交通运输陷入紧急状况。

或者还可以用blackout表示：

power/electricity blackout

There was an electricity black-out in a large area in the north of the country.

该国北部大片地区断电。

那停电之后又来电了，该怎么说呢？

The power is back on. 表示有电了
