为什么取消引用指针称为取消引用？
为什么取消引用称为取消引用？
我只是在正确地学习指针，我想知道为什么取消引用被称为这样。这让我很困惑，因为听起来您正在删除引用，而不是通过指向目的地的指针。
谁能解释一下为什么这么叫？
对我来说，诸如“destination”或“pointed_to_value”之类的东西更有意义。
Why is dereferencing called dereferencing?
I'm just learning pointers properly, and I'd like to know why dereferencing is called that. It confused me as it sounds like you are removing a reference, rather than going via the pointer to the destination.
Can anyone explain why it is called this?
To me something like destination or pointed_to_value would make more sense.

指针引用一个对象。因此，我们解引用指针（或者，获取指针的所指对象）来获取指向的对象。
de- 前缀很可能来自拉丁语介词，意思是 from；我想您可以将取消引用视为“从引用获取引用对象（或对象）”。
A pointer refers to an object. Ergo, we dereference the pointer (or, get the referent of the pointer) to get the object pointed-to.
The de- prefix most likely comes from the Latin preposition meaning from; I suppose you could think of dereference as meaning "to obtain the referent (or object) from the reference."
取消引用意味着取消引用并给出它实际引用的内容。
指向
某物的指针实际上意味着您的指针变量保存某物的内存地址。但指针也可以被认为是对某物的引用。Dereferencing means taking away the reference and giving you what it was actually referring to.
A pointer to
somethingreally means that your pointer variable holds a memory address ofsomething. But the pointer can also be thought of as a reference tosomethinginstead.维基词典仅包含与编程相关的定义：http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dereference
所以看起来这实际上只是技术术语。
Wiktionary only contains definitions related to programming: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dereference
So it looks like it's really just technical jargon.
