On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock
that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the
mountains. Because he could not free his arm, she stayed
there for five days and hoped that someone would find him.
But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do
something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that
day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then,
with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not
lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the
mountain to find help.

run out与run out of的区别:
run out是动副型短语动词,作不及物动词,表示“被用完了(become used up)”的被动含义,其主语通常是时间、金钱、食物等无生命名词。例如:
His money soon ran out. 他的钱很快就花完了。
Food supplies had run out towards the end of the trip. 在旅行快结束时,食物已经吃完了。
run out of 是三个词组成的短语动词,作及物动词用,后接宾语,表示“用完(use up)”的主动含义,主语只能是人。run out of还有“从(某处)流出(跑出)”的意思;run out也有“流出,跑出”的意义,但其后不能接宾语。例如:
He ran out of gas a mile from home. 他在离家还有一英里的地方把汽油用完了。
He ran out of the room. 他跑出了房间。
The water ran out of the cracked jug. 水从有裂缝的罐中流出。
