The term data refers to factual information, especially that used for analysis and based on reasoning or calculation. Data itself has no meaning, but becomes information when it is interpreted. Information is a collection of facts or data that is communicated.
Data指的是实际信息，尤其是分析、推理或计算的信息。Data自身并没有意义，但是经过解释处理之后，Data被赋予意义才成为信息。信息是用于交流的事实和数据的集合。
However, in many contexts they are considered and are used as synonyms. Data, by the way, is the plural of datum. Information comes from Latin informationem'concept, idea' or 'outline'.
然而，在很多情形下，Data和Information可用作同义词。顺便提一句，Data是datum的复数。Information来自于拉丁文的informationem，其义为“观念、想法或概述”。
