Sam The key word in the definition of 'rank' is 'position'. Thinking about an athlete competing in a race or a student competing in a school test might help with this idea. If we asked the athlete or the student 'Where did you rank?', it would be like asking them 'What was your position?'
Jiaying 原来动词 “rank” 具体可以用来谈论运动员比赛或学生考试的排名情况。我们用 “Where did you rank?” 或者 “What was your position?” 来表示 “你第几名?”
