Place,Location和Position的區別

This week we answer a question from Pakistan。

Shahid writes:

本週我們回答一個來自巴基斯坦的問題。

沙希德寫道:

What is the difference between these terms: place, location, position, site and situation? Dear Shahid,

place,location,position,site和situation這幾個詞的區別是什麼?親愛的沙希德,

The five terms you gave are very close in meaning。

The English language often has more than one word to describe a similar idea or action。

你給出的這五個詞的意思很接近。

英語中常常有不止一個詞來描述相似的概念或行為。

The word “place” is used to describe an area that may not have an exact border。

In fact, it may not be a particular or special area。

“place”這個詞被用來描述可能並無確切邊界的區域。

事實上,它可能不是一個特殊區域。

Place is so general it could be a room, a building, a town, a country, or something else。

For example, in a news broadcast, I heard this sentence:

“Place”所表示的區域如此普遍,它可以是一個房間,一個建築,一個城鎮,一個國家,或其它地方。例如,在新聞廣播中,我聽到了這句話:

The beach is one of the safest places to be these days。

Official documents may ask for your “place of birth,” which usually means a city and country。

海灘是當今最安全的地方之一。

官方檔案可能會問你的“出生地”,那通常是指出生的城市和國家。

Have you ever been waiting in line but need to leave for a short period?

Then you might ask someone:

你是否曾在排隊等候時需要離開一小段時間?

然後你可能會問某人:

Will you hold my place in line? This use of place is the same as how we use the word “position”。

你能幫我佔一下位置嗎?“place”的這種用法和“position”這個詞的用法相同。

Position means a specific point。 The position of something is relative to other things。

“Position”是指一個特定的地點。用 position來表示某物的位置是相對於其它事物而言。

For example, in an auto race, the “pole position” is in the first row on the inside lane。

She earned the pole position for the race because she was the fastest driver this year。

例如,在一場汽車比賽中,“杆位”在內側車道第一排。

她贏得了該比賽的杆位,因為她是今年最快的車手。

A position can also be a way of holding one‘s body, as in this example。

Most office workers spend the day in a sitting position。

“position”也可以是人們身體的保持方式,正如這個例子。

大多數辦公室職員都是一坐一整天。

The word “location” is used to describe a specific point in physical space。 For example:

“location”這個詞被用來描述物理空間中的一個特定地點。例如:

The location of a business is very important to its success。

People who buy and sell homes and buildings often use the expression: Location, location, location!

企業的地理位置對其成功非常重要。

買賣房屋和建築的人經常使用這種表達:位置,位置,還是位置!

That means a store on a busy street corner is more likely to be successful, and a house that is in a nice neighborhood will be easier to sell。

那意味著在繁華街頭開一家商店更有可能成功,而位於好街區的房子更容易賣掉。

A related word is “site,” which we can use for the present or past location of a building or an important event in history, as in:

與之相關的單詞是“site”,我們可以用它來表示建築物當前或過去的位置,或歷史上的重要事件,例如:

This was the site of the first battle in the war。

We also use “site” to talk about the future location of a building or structure:

這是戰爭中首次戰鬥的地點。

我們還使用“site”來談論建築物的未來位置:

The mayor chose the site of the new memorial。

Finally, Shahid, you asked about the word “situation”。

市長選定了新紀念碑的位置。

最後,沙希德,你問了“situation”這個詞。

This is an old-fashioned and more formal, or official, way to talk about a place: The house is in a wonderful situation close to the water。

這種談論地點的方式老式且更為正式:這座房子位置很好,傍水。

However, American English speakers generally no longer use this word when talking about specific places。

I hope these answers help when you want to use these five place terms。

然而,說美式英語的人在談到特定地點時通常不再使用這個詞。

我希望這些解答可以在你想要使用這五個表示位置的詞時對你有幫助。
