易错句子Our team blanked by the champions in the final.
正确表达Our team was blanked by the champions in the final.
blank 表示“使（对手）一分未得、零封”时是及物动词，主语是施加者；本句主语 our team 是“被零封”的一方，必须用被动语态 was blanked (by ...)。汉语“被零封”的被动标记常被学习者漏掉，这里就丢掉了助动词 was，只剩过去分词。

易错句子If you don't know the answer, please blank the box.
正确表达If you don't know the answer, please leave the box blank.
blank 作动词意为“使无效、抹去、取消”，blank the box 会被理解为“把方框抹掉”；要表达“不知道就先空着”，须用 leave + 宾语 + blank，其中 blank 是形容词作宾语补足语。此处错在把形容词 blank 直接当作动词使用。

易错句子She blanked for a moment and forgot what to say.
正确表达She blanked out for a moment and forgot what to say.
表示“一时脑子空白、失神、断片”这一短暂状态要用短语动词 blank out，副词 out 不能省略；单独用不及物动词 blank 并不表达这种短暂失神，因此 She blanked for a moment 不合英语习惯。汉语没有对应的动词小品词，学习者容易把 out 丢掉。
（头脑）变得一片空白；突然失忆
I completely blanked out during the interview and couldn't answer any questions.
我在面试时头脑一片空白，什么问题都答不上来。
零封对手；使对手不得分
