Out of gas Meaning in English
expression
释义
To have used all your fuel (literal, for cars or machines), or to feel very tired and have no more energy left (figurative).
用法与细微差别
Used both literally (cars, machines) and figuratively (feeling exhausted). Informal, common in everyday speech. For 'no gas' in cooking, use 'out of propane' or 'out of fuel' for other appliances. Don’t confuse with 'no gas' (may also mean no carbonated drinks in some regions).
