Phrase | gap |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "income gap" means the difference in the amount of money made by two people or by two groups of people: "Why is there such a large income gap between engineers in the U.S. and those in Asian countries?" Normally the word "gap" means a space between two things, or something that is missing: "Cynthia has a big gap between her two front teeth." Or, "I learned from my driving teacher that good drivers always leave a gap between themselves and other cars." A "gap" can also be a period of time when something stops: "Kelly has a two-year gap in her work experience because she was traveling around Europe." Or, "There was an uncomfortable gap in the conversation when nobody knew what to say." |
