And it's a topic I want to pick up on today, we're going to do for the next few lectures, and it's a topic I want to spend some time on because this idea of capturing data and methods, the term we're going to use for it, but data and functions that belong to that data, things that can be used to manipulate them, is a really powerful one.

我们会在今天讲这个话题,在后面几节课还会讲这个,这是个我愿意花点时间，在上面的话题因为这是个,捕获数据和方法的思想,我们用这个术语来形容它，数据中包括了数据和函数等，能用来操作它们的东西,真的是很强大的工具，我们真正要讲的东西是，我们要学会如何把信息。
