Run out of  !!!
Belinda	Oh no ! It's always the same.
Henry	What's the matter ?
Belinda	The photocopier's run out of paper.
Henry	Have you looked in the store cupboard for more ?
Belinda	Yes, of course. But that's out of paper as well.
Henry	That's really bad luck. If your job's really urgent, I would go to the copy bureau across the street.
Belinda	Thanks. It is and I will.

The C disk in my laptop has kind of run out of space as I have watched the movie by Internet for two weeks. Today I had to free up some space and it took me a long time. Now I am runing out of my stream.

请老师给出正确回答

e.g:

there’s been an overall decline in crime levels in Canada—but some areas stand out as especially safe

It has run out of paper.

That is out of paper.

两者意思差不多，后者静态，前者动态，对吧？

你问了个很好的问题，就此我查到的信息如下：

run out of To exhaust the supply of: ran out of fuel.

Verb

1.

run out - become used up; be exhausted; "Our supplies finally ran out"

run out - exhaust the supply of; "We ran out of time just as the discussion was getting interesting"

比较：run out和run out of 这两个短语都有“用完”的意思，但用法不同。run out作不及物短语，表示“被用完；被耗尽；（人）把东西用完（或花光）”，其主语通常是时间、金钱、食物等无生命名词，而run out of则是及物短语，表示主动。

所以，就你所举出的例子而言，我的理解是：没有这种说法“It has run out of ....." 然而，第二句则"It is out of ..."说法常用且 lean and mean
