"Give a blank look" nghĩa là gì?

Photo by  Jakub Kriz

"Give (one) a blank look" = Nhìn ai bằng ánh mắt/cái nhìn ngây dại -> Nhìn ai mà không biểu lộ cảm xúc trên gương mặt, thường là vì quá bối rối, không biết như thế nào hoặc quá ngập tràn cảm xúc bởi điều gì.

Ví dụ
The number of people who give me a blank look when I ask them why they want to take a photo at a certain time, or place, or event, is amazing.

But when I ask them what are they looking forward to in the position on offer, they give me a blank look and some even say they are not sure.

In this city I’ve always felt the need to explain myself and where I come from. People are shocked when they find out about our woodstove and lack of TV during my childhood, especially when I tell them that I was perfectly happy with the way things were. But often when I try to tell somebody about any of it, they just give me a blank look, like they’re trying to understand but have no frame of reference to create a picture.
