生活口语

Where are you going, Annie?

安妮，你要去哪儿？

We're all out of fruit juice, so I'm going to make a run for the store.

没有果汁了.我要去趟商店。

重点讲解:

We don't have any fruit juice left,so I'm going to the store.

We're all out of fruit juice,so I'm going to make a run for the store.

我们通常用don't have anything left来表示“某样东西没有了”，其实这是一种比较书面的说法，在口语中老外常用be all out of something来表示这一意思；另外，用make a run for somewhere来表示“到某个地方去”更加口语化，run也更能体现着急、急用的心情。
