Definition
差距 (chājù) means 'gap' or 'disparity' — a measurable difference between two things, such as income, skill, or price. It's more specific than 差别 (chābié, any difference or distinction) and less formal than 差异 (chāyì, often used in objective comparisons). Use 差距 when you're highlighting a quantifiable gap that can be large or small.
