小区停水停电英语

“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

楼上两位的答案都有对的地方，只是用在不同的情况下。比方说：“停电了！”The power is off.(power 就是电的意思） “停水了！”The water supply is cut off.“请停止电源！”Please cut off the power.“请断水！”Please cut off the water (supply).

如果停水、停电连着说，可以说water and power supply cut-off。单独的话就不一定了。停水的说法就water supply cut-off一种，但停电就多了，一下说法可供参考：service interruption停电，断电；current failure停电，断电；power failure停电；outage停机,断电1. the amount of something (as whiskey or oil) lost in storage or transportation2. a temporary suspension of operation (as of computers) ；mains failure停电，电力网毁坏；current interruption电流中断，停电。例句与用法: 1. 频繁的停电使工厂停产。 Production in the factories stopped because of frequent power failures. 2. 因停电所有的灯都熄灭了. There was a power cut and all the lights went out. 3. 停电使水供应陷于瘫痪。 The electricity failure paralysed the water supply. 4. 我正在做晚饭时停电了。 While I was cooking supper the electricity went off. 5. 表演正好进行到一半时停电了。 The light went out bang in the middle of the performance.
