Both words can mean to change position. Move is the general, neutral word, used in almost any context, casual or formal. Displace is more formal, usually meaning something is forced out of its usual place by disaster, conflict, or another thing taking over.
这两个词都可表示“移动”，但move是日常中性用词，几乎不带感情色彩，适用于任何场合；displace更正式、书面，通常暗示因灾难、暴力或外力被迫离开原位，常见于描述难民或物体被强行移位。move还有“打动，使感动”的义项，这里不作比较。
Compared meaning: the act of moving, a change of position (noun).
比较义项：移动、挪动（的动作）（名词）。
- movement
The general, often continuous act or manner of moving, common for describing body movements, dance, or exercise; more everyday in tone than motion, and not tied to one specific instance.
泛指移动的动作或方式，常用于描述身体动作、舞蹈或锻炼中持续或反复的动作；语气比motion更日常，不特指某一次具体的动作。
Her movements grew slower as she grew more tired during the run.
在跑步过程中，随着她越来越疲惫，她的动作变得越来越缓慢。
- move 本词
A single, concrete instance of changing place or position, usually countable (a move, the move); more specific and discrete than the general, often uncountable movement or motion.
指改变位置的一次具体、单一的动作，通常可数（a move，the move）；比泛指、常不可数的movement或motion更加具体、单一。

- motion
The general act of moving, but more formal or technical than movement; used in fixed expressions like motion detector, in motion, or slow motion, especially in science or machinery contexts.
同样泛指移动的动作，但比movement更正式、更具技术性，常用于固定搭配，如motion detector（运动探测器）、in motion（运动中）、slow motion（慢动作），多见于科学或机械语境。

摄像机以慢动作捕捉到了飘落的树叶。
Movement, move, and motion relate to moving. Move is one specific, countable change of position, like a house move. Movement and motion are more general words for the act of moving. Their other senses — social movement, meeting motion, strategic move — are not compared.
movement、motion、move在此义项上都与“移动”有关，但move通常指一次具体、单一的位置变化（如搬家、搬迁），可数且更具体；movement和motion则泛指移动的动作或过程，其中motion更正式、偏技术性（常见于motion detector、in motion等固定搭配），movement更日常，多用于描述身体动作。这里不比较movement表示“（社会）运动”的意义、motion表示“（会议上的）提议、动议”的意义、以及move表示“（策略性的）一步棋、招数”的意义。
