without短語可用作表語嗎

有網友問：without短語可用作表語嗎？

without引出的介詞短語通常用作狀語，但若語境需要，完全可以用作表語。如：

She is completely without shame. 她恬不知恥。

My investigations were without result. 我的調查毫無結果。

The houses in this village are without water. 這個村子里家家戶戶都沒有自來水。

We were without electricity for three hours but it’s on again now. 我們的電停了三小時，現在又有了。
