Hi! So far this week, we've talked about water power and atom power. Today we'll introduce you to a word you can use when there isn't enough of either to go around.
(POWER) SHORTAGE (電力)不足
- When there is a shortage of something, there is less of it than is necessary.
- shortage は、何かが必要量より少ないこと、つまり、不足という意味です。
- When I was in Tanzania, there was a power shortage because there had been so little rain. You see, much of their energy comes from hydroelectric power.
- Water shortages are fairly common in Southern California. The climate there is very dry.
- There's a shortage of teachers and doctors in many rural areas.
Enjoy the day!
