Long position和Short position是证券或外汇交易的特定用语。Position一词在这里指的是“寸头”，是金融界及商业界的流行用语。如果银行在当日的全部收付款中收入大于支出款项，就称为“多头寸”，如果付出款项大于收入款项，就称为“缺头寸”。

Long position指的是“多头，好仓，市价看涨（股票术语）；采取多头市场；对市场价格持看涨观点”。参考双语例句：

The interest include: (i) 16,722,000 Shares of long position directly held by Tsinlien; and (ii) 568,017,143 Shares of long position held by Tianjin Investment Holdings Limited, 2,022,000 Shares of long position held by Tsinlien Venture Capital Company Limited, 64,592,000 Shares of long position held by Tsinlien Investment Limited and 220,298,109 Shares of short position held by Bright North Limited, all being wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tsinlien.

Short position指的是“空头，淡仓，市场看跌，证券或外汇交易中未补抛空差额，欠缺的头寸”。参考双语例句：
