空白 kòngbái blank space
怎么记住“空白”: 空 empty + 白 white = blank space.
汉字
用法
- A blank/gap - literally an unfilled space (填写空白 fill in the blanks) or figuratively an unaddressed area (填补空白 tiánbǔ kòngbái, to fill a gap).
- Read kòngbái here (kòng = empty space), a common tone trap versus kōng.
- Common in 一片空白 (yí piàn kòngbái) - a total blank, e.g. one's mind going blank.
