1. 空间;(空余的)地方
You use space to refer to an area that is empty or available. The area can be any size. For example, you can refer to a large area outside as a large open space or to a small area between two objects as a small space .
e.g. Under the plan, bits of open space — fields, golf-course borders and small parks — will be preserved.
在这份规划里，一些开放空间——运动场、高尔夫球场边缘以及小公园——将得以保留。
e.g. ...cutting down yet more trees to make space for houses...
砍掉更多的树，腾出空间来盖房子
You should use space or room to refer to an open or empty area. You do not use place as an uncount noun in this sense. Room is more likely to be used when you are talking about space inside an enclosed area. There's not enough room in the bathroom for both of us... Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front.
space 或 room 可以指一片开阔的区域或一片空地，place 不能作为不可数名词用于该义项。room 多指封闭的空间，例如：There's not enough room in the bathroom for both of us (浴室里容不下我们两个人)，Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front (和前面的汽车保持足够的距离)。
