Location and position both mean a place, but usage differs. Location usually refers to a geographic or physical site, such as a business or building. Position refers to the exact point where something is, or an abstract rank. It excludes position meaning 'a job'.

两个词在“位置”这一义项上意思相近，但典型用法不同：location 常指地理或实体上的具体地点，尤其用于描述场所、建筑或活动发生的地方；position 更常指某物所处的具体点，也常用于描述职位或排名等抽象位置。这里不比较 position 的“职位，工作岗位”义项。
