translate = move
general syntax:
translate <x1,y1,z1>
this moves an object relative to it's current position
by x1 in x direction (horizontal)
by y1 in y direction (vertical) and
by z1 in z direction (deepth).

Sample:
#declare OrangeYellow = color rgb<1,0.85,0>;
#declare Ball1 =
sphere{<0,0,0>,1
texture{ pigment{ color OrangeYellow}
finish { diffuse 0.9 phong 1}}
}
//-------------------------------------------------
#declare Ball2 =
sphere{<0,0,0>,1
texture{ pigment{ color NeonPink}
finish { diffuse 0.9 phong 1}}
}
//-------------------------------------------------
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 0,-4>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 0, 0>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 0, 4>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 0, 8>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 2, 8>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 4, 8>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 6, 8>}
object{Ball1 translate< 4, 8, 8>}
object{Ball2 translate<-4, 2,0>}
object{Ball2 translate<-2, 2,0>}
object{Ball2 translate< 0, 2,0>}
object{Ball2 translate< 2, 2,0>}
object{Ball2 translate< 4, 2,0>}
object{Ball2 translate<-4, 2,4>}
object{Ball2 translate<-2, 2,4>}
object{Ball2 translate< 0, 2,4>}
object{Ball2 translate< 2, 2,4>}
object{Ball2 translate< 4, 2,4>}
//------------------------------------------------- |

Hint:
We can use "translate" also with other objects like light sources, textures("texture"),
color patterns ("pigment") and simulated surface structures ("normal").
