| closed generic type | 封閉式泛型型別 (A constructed generic type that has no unspecified generic type parameters, either of its own or of any enclosing types or methods. Closed generic types can be instantiated) |
| constructed generic type | 建構的泛型型別 (A generic type whose generic type parameters have been specified. A constructed type or method can be an open generic type if some of its type arguments are type parameters of enclosing types or methods, or a closed generic type if all of its type arguments are real types) |
| generic method | 泛型方法 (A method whose definition has placeholders, called generic type parameters, for one or more types used in the body of the method or as the types of the method's parameters. A user specifies real types (generic type arguments) for the type parameters when calling the generic method. Note that a method is not generic just because it is declared in a generic type. A method is generic only if it has type parameters of its own) |
| generic type argument | 泛型型別引數 (The type that the user specifies when creating instances of a generic type or when calling a generic method) |
| generic type definition | 泛型型別定義 (The definition of a generic type, in which type parameters act as placeholders for types that the user supplies when creating instances to use. These instances are not instances of the generic type definition, but of the constructed type formed by specifying type arguments) |
| generic type parameter | 泛型型別參數 (In a generic type definition, a placeholder for a type that the user specifies (generic type argument) when creating instances of a generic type or when calling a generic method) |
| generic type parameter constraint | 泛型型別參數條件約束 (A way of limiting the types that can be specified for a generic type parameter. For example, types substituted for the type parameter can be constrained to inherit from a particular type, to implement a specific interface, to provide a parameterless constructor, and so on) |
| generic type parameter list | 泛型型別參數清單 (The list of generic type parameters of a generic type or method, specified as part of the definition of the generic type or generic method) |
| open generic type | 開放式泛型型別 (A constructed generic type in which one or more of the generic type arguments substituted for its generic type parameters is a type parameter of an enclosing generic type or method. Open generic types cannot be instantiated) |
