how to translate "停电了" in English ?
My friend told me that native speakers would not say "electricity was cut off"?
So how do you express that?

You could say that the electricity has been cut off in the following situations: the power company has deliberately cut the lines in order to do maintenance, you haven't paid your bill or when a house is unoccupied.
A 'blackout' is when a large area, like an entire city, loses power. This often happens in certain parts of the US during the summer because everyone runs their air-conditioners 24/7.

I can't translate what's written there, but I believe people would say "I ran out of battery" or "We ran out of electricity" when they're trying to say they don't have electricity or battery.
