place的意思是位置。
具体释义：
n. 地方；位置；地点；场所。
v. 安置；安放；认出；使（人）处于某位置。
用法：
1、表示“地方”，后接不及物动词的不定式作定语时，可以不用介词。如：He has no place to live . 他没有地方住。
2、比较in place of和take the place of：两者均可以表示“代替”，前者为介词短语，而后者为动词短语。
3、比较take place和take the place of：前者意为“发生”（不及物，不能跟有宾语，也不能有被动语态），后者意为“代替”。
place的例句：
1、So, it was the sense that you had an opportunity, that there was a place for you there, that there was an open door.
你感觉你得到了一个机会，有了一个给你的位置，一扇门打开了。
2、She felt as if she had come to a place that she had always known and deeply desired.
她似乎觉得来到了她早已熟谙而且朝思暮想的某个地方。
3、If you didn't know anything about it, a place with a name like the Dead Sea might not sound very appealing.
如果你对它一无所知，那么一个叫做死海的地方听上去或许不会那么吸引人。
