本文翻译自：[What is the apply function in Scala?][What is the apply function in Scala]

*I never understood it from the contrived unmarshalling and verbing nouns ( an `AddTwo` class has an `apply` that adds two!) examples.* **我从来没有从设计的解组和修改名词中理解它（一个`AddTwo`类有一个`apply` ，它增加了两个！）的例子。**

*I understand that it's syntactic sugar, so (I deduced from context) it must have been designed to make some code more intuitive.* **我理解它是语法糖，所以（我从上下文推断）它必须被设计为使一些代码更直观。**

*What meaning does a class with an `apply` function give?* **具有`apply`函数的类有什么意义？** *What is it used for, and what purposes does it make code better (unmarshalling, verbing nouns etc)?* **它用于什么，以及它使代码变得更好的目的（解组，修改名词等）？**

*how does it help when used in a companion object?* **在伴侣对象中使用时如何帮助？**

*Here is a small example for those who want to peruse quickly* **对于那些想要快速阅读的人来说，这是一个小例子**

object ApplyExample01 extends App {
    
    
      class Greeter1(var message: String) {
        println("A greeter-1 is being instantiated with message " + message)
    
    
      }
    
      class Greeter2 {
    
    
        def apply(message: String) = {
          println("A greeter-2 is being instantiated with message " + message)
        }
      }
    
      val g1: Greeter1 = new Greeter1("hello")
      val g2: Greeter2 = new Greeter2()
    
      g2("world")
    
    
    }

> *output* **产量**
> 
> *A greeter-1 is being instantiated with message hello* **greeter-1正在使用消息hello进行实例化**
> 
> *A greeter-2 is being instantiated with message world* **greeter-2正在使用消息世界进行实例化**

*It comes from the idea that you often want to apply something to an object.* **它来自于您经常想要*将*某些东西应用于对象的想法。** *The more accurate example is the one of factories.* **更准确的例子是工厂之一。** *When you have a factory, you want to apply parameter to it to create an object.* **如果您有工厂，则需要*将*参数应用于它以创建对象。**

*Scala guys thought that, as it occurs in many situation, it could be nice to have a shortcut to call `apply` .* **Scala家伙认为，在很多情况下都会出现这种情况，因此有一个快捷方式可以调用`apply` 。** *Thus when you give parameters directly to an object, it's desugared as if you pass these parameters to the apply function of that object:* **因此，当您直接向对象提供参数时，它就像将这些参数传递给该对象的apply函数一样：**

class MyAdder(x: Int) {
      def apply(y: Int) = x + y
    }
    
    val adder = new MyAdder(2)
    val result = adder(4) // equivalent to x.apply(4)

*It's often use in companion object, to provide a nice factory method for a class or a trait, here is an example:* **它通常用在伴侣对象中，为类或特征提供一个很好的工厂方法，这里有一个例子：**

trait A {
      val x: Int
      def myComplexStrategy: Int
    }
    
    object A {
      def apply(x: Int): A = new MyA(x)
    
      private class MyA(val x: Int) extends A {
        val myComplexStrategy = 42
      }
    }

*From the scala standard library, you might look at how `scala.collection.Seq` is implemented: `Seq` is a trait, thus `new Seq(1, 2)` won't compile but thanks to companion object and apply, you can call `Seq(1, 2)` and the implementation is chosen by the companion object.* **从scala标准库中，您可以看看`scala.collection.Seq`是如何实现的： `Seq`是一个特征，因此`new Seq(1, 2)`将无法编译，但是由于伴随对象和apply，您可以调用`Seq(1, 2)`并且实现由伴随对象选择。**

*Mathematicians have their own little funny ways, so instead of saying "then we call function `f` passing it `x` as a parameter" as we programmers would say, they talk about "applying function `f` to its argument `x` ".* **数学家有他们自己的一些有趣的方式，所以不是说“然后我们称函数`f`将`x`作为参数传递”，正如我们程序员所说，他们谈论“将函数`f`应用于其参数`x` ”。**

> *In mathematics and computer science, Apply is a function that applies functions to arguments.* **在数学和计算机科学中，Apply是一个将函数应用于参数的函数。**

*`apply` serves the purpose of closing the gap between Object-Oriented and Functional paradigms in Scala.* **`apply`用于缩小Scala中面向对象和功能范例之间的差距。** *Every function in Scala can be represented as an object.* **Scala中的每个函数都可以表示为一个对象。** *Every function also has an OO type: for instance, a function that takes an `Int` parameter and returns an `Int` will have OO type of `Function1[Int,Int]` .* **每个函数也有一个OO类型：例如，一个接受`Int`参数并返回一个`Int`的`Function1[Int,Int]`将具有OO类型的`Function1[Int,Int]` 。**

// define a function in scala
     (x:Int) => x + 1
    
     // assign an object representing the function to a variable
     val f = (x:Int) => x + 1

*Since everything is an object in Scala `f` can now be treated as a reference to `Function1[Int,Int]` object.* **因为一切是Scala对象`f`现在可以作为一个参考被处理`Function1[Int,Int]`对象。** *For example, we can call `toString` method inherited from `Any` , that would have been impossible for a pure function, because functions don't have methods:* **例如，我们可以调用从`Any`继承的`toString`方法，这对于纯函数来说是不可能的，因为函数没有方法：**

f.toString

*Or we could define another `Function1[Int,Int]` object by calling `compose` method on `f` and chaining two different functions together:* **或者我们可以通过在`f`上调用`compose`方法并将两个不同的函数链接在一起来定义另一个`Function1[Int,Int]`对象：**

val f2 = f.compose((x:Int) => x - 1)

*Now if we want to actually execute the function, or as mathematician say "apply a function to its arguments" we would call the `apply` method on the `Function1[Int,Int]` object:* **现在，如果我们想要实际执行该函数，或者数学家说“将函数应用于其参数”，我们将在`Function1[Int,Int]`对象上调用`apply`方法：**

f2.apply(2)

*Writing `f.apply(args)` every time you want to execute a function represented as an object is the Object-Oriented way, but would add a lot of clutter to the code without adding much additional information and it would be nice to be able to use more standard notation, such as `f(args)` .* **每次要执行表示为对象的函数时，编写`f.apply(args)`都是面向对象的方式，但是会在不添加太多额外信息的情况下给代码添加很多混乱，并且很高兴能够使用更标准的表示法，例如`f(args)` 。** *That's where Scala compiler steps in and whenever we have a reference `f` to a function object and write `f (args)` to apply arguments to the represented function the compiler silently expands `f (args)` to the object method call `f.apply (args)` .* **这就是Scala编译器进入的地方，每当我们对函数对象有一个引用`f`并写入`f (args)`以将参数应用于表示的函数时，编译器会静默地将`f (args)`扩展为对象方法调用`f.apply (args)` 。**

*Every function in Scala can be treated as an object and it works the other way too - every object can be treated as a function, provided it has the `apply` method.* **Scala中的每个函数都可以被视为一个对象，它也可以用另一个方式工作 - 只要它具有`apply`方法，每个对象都可以被视为一个函数。** *Such objects can be used in the function notation:* **这些对象可用于函数表示法：**

// we will be able to use this object as a function, as well as an object
    object Foo {
      var y = 5
      def apply (x: Int) = x + y
    }
    
    
    Foo (1) // using Foo object in function notation

*There are many usage cases when we would want to treat an object as a function.* **当我们想要将对象视为函数时，有许多用例。** *The most common scenario is a [factory pattern][] .* **最常见的情况是[工厂模式][factory pattern] 。** *Instead of adding clutter to the code using a factory method we can `apply` object to a set of arguments to create a new instance of an associated class:* **我们可以`apply`对象应用于一组参数来创建关联类的新实例，而不是使用工厂方法向代码添加混乱：**

List(1,2,3) // same as List.apply(1,2,3) but less clutter, functional notation
    
    // the way the factory method invocation would have looked
    // in other languages with OO notation - needless clutter
    List.instanceOf(1,2,3)

*So `apply` method is just a handy way of closing the gap between functions and objects in Scala.* **因此， `apply`方法只是缩小Scala中函数和对象之间差距的一种方便方法。**
