我知道，我迟到了，但让我试着简化一下。

假设有一个函数

    function Foo(message){

         this.message = message ; 
     };

     console.log(Foo.prototype);

Foo函数将有一个原型对象链接。所以，无论何时我们在JavaScript中创建一个函数，它总是有一个原型对象链接到它。

现在让我们继续使用函数Foo创建两个对象。

    var a = new Foo("a");
    var b = new Foo("b");
    console.log(a.message);
    console.log(b.message);

现在我们有两个对象，对象a和对象b。它们都被创建了 使用构造函数Foo。记住，构造函数在这里只是一个词。 对象a和b都有message属性的副本。 这两个对象a和b链接到构造函数Foo的原型对象。 在对象a和b上，我们可以在所有浏览器中使用__proto__属性访问Foo prototype，在IE中我们可以使用Object.getPrototypeOf(a)或Object.getPrototypeOf(b)

现在,Foo。Prototype, a.__proto__和b.__proto__都表示同一个对象。

    b.__proto__ === Object.getPrototypeOf(a);
    a.__proto__ ===  Foo.prototype;
    a.constructor.prototype  === a.__proto__;

所有这些都将返回true。

如我们所知，在JavaScript中属性可以动态添加。我们可以向对象添加属性

    Foo.prototype.Greet = function(){

         console.log(this.message);
    }
    a.Greet();//a
    b.Greet();//b
    a.constructor.prototype.Greet();//undefined 

如你所见，我们在Foo中添加了Greet()方法。但它可以在a和b或任何其他使用Foo构造的对象中访问。

在执行a.Greet()时，JavaScript将首先在对象a的属性列表中搜索Greet。如果没有找到，它将在a. Since a.__proto__和Foo的__proto__链中上升。prototype是同一个对象，JavaScript会找到Greet()方法并执行它。

我希望，现在prototype和__proto__被简化了一点。

只有一个对象用于原型链接。该对象显然有一个名称和值:__proto__是它的名称，prototype是它的值。这是所有。

为了让它更容易理解，看看这篇文章顶部的图表(由dmitry soshnikov绘制的图表)，你永远不会发现__proto__的值指向prototype以外的其他东西。

要点是:__proto__是引用原型对象的名称，prototype是实际的原型对象。

这就像是在说:

let x = {name: 'john'};

X是对象名称(指针)，{name: 'john'}是实际对象(数据值)。

注意:这只是一个非常简单的提示，说明它们在较高的水平上是如何相互关联的。

更新:下面是一个简单具体的javascript示例，以便更好地说明:

let x = new String("testing") // Or any other javascript object you want to create

Object.getPrototypeOf(x) === x.__proto__; // true

这意味着当Object.getPrototypeOf(x)为我们获取x的实际值(这是它的原型)时，正是x的__proto__所指向的。因此__proto__确实指向x的原型。因此__proto__引用x (x的指针)，而prototype是x的值(它的原型)。

我希望现在大家都明白了。

我认为你需要知道__proto__， [[prototype]]和prototype之间的区别。

公认的答案是有帮助的，但它可能暗示(不完全)__proto__只与在构造函数上使用new创建的对象相关，这是不正确的。

更准确地说:__proto__存在于每个对象上。

But what is __proto__ at all? Well, it is an object referencing another object which is also a property of all objects, called [[prototype]]. It's worth mentioning that [[prototype]] is something that JavaScript handles internally and is inaccessible to the developer. Why would we need a reference object to the property [[prototype]] (of all objects)? Because JavaScript doesn't want to allow getting / setting the [[prototype]] directly, so it allows it through a middle layer which is __proto__. So you can think of __proto__ as a getter/setter of the [[prototype]] property. What is prototype then? It is something specific to functions(Initially defined in Function, i.e, Function.prototype and then prototypically inherited by newly created functions, and then again those functions give it to their children, forming a chain of prototypical inheritance). JavaScript uses a parent function's prototype to set its child functions' [[prototype]] when that parent function is run with new (remember we said all objects have [[prototype]]? well, functions are objects too, so they have [[prototype]] as well). So when the [[prototype]] of a function(child) is set to the prototype of another function(parent), you will have this in the end: let child = new Parent(); child.__proto__ === Parent.prototype // --> true. (Remember child.[[prototype]] is inaccessible, so we checked it using __proto__.)

注意1:只要属性不在子对象中，它的__proto__将被“隐式”搜索。例如，if child。Myprop返回一个值，你不能说" Myprop "是子对象的属性，还是父对象原型的属性。这也意味着你永远不需要做这样的事情:child.__proto__.__proto__。我的东西你自己拿去吧，孩子。Myprop会自动为你做这件事。

注意2:即使父对象的原型中有项目，子对象自己的原型最初也是一个空对象。如果您想进一步扩展继承链(将child[ren]添加到child)，则可以向其中添加项或手动从其中删除项。或者可以隐式地操纵它，例如使用类语法。)

注意3:如果你需要自己设置/获取[[prototype]]，使用__proto__有点过时，现代JavaScript建议使用Object。setPrototypeOf和Object。getPrototypeOf代替。

让我用一个简单的例子来解释:

function User(email, name){
    this.email = email;
    this.name = name;
    this.online = false;
    // method directly added to the constructor
    this.greet = ()=>{
        console.log(`Hi ${this.name}`);
    }
}
// Adding prototype method login to the constructor function. 
User.prototype.login = function(){
    this.online = true;
    console.log(this.email, 'has logged in');
};
// Adding prototype method logout to the constructor function.
User.prototype.logout = function(){
    this.online = false;
    console.log(this.email, 'has logged out');
};
 
var userOne = new User('ryu@ninjas.com', 'Ryu');
var userTwo = new User('yoshi@mariokorp.com', 'Yoshi');
 
console.log(userOne);
userTwo.login();
userTwo.greet();

输出:

结论:

在构造函数中添加的属性和方法是 直接添加到对象中。 添加的属性和方法 .prototype。被添加到对象的__proto__属性中。我们甚至可以看到userOne。__proto__或userTwo.__proto__

一种很好的思考方式是……

Prototype用于构造函数。它真的应该被称为“prototypeToInstall”，因为它就是这样的。

__proto__是对象上的“已安装原型”(由上述构造函数()函数创建/安装在对象上)

在JavaScript中，函数可以用作构造函数。这意味着我们可以使用new关键字从它们中创建对象。每个构造函数都带有一个内置对象。这个内置对象称为原型。构造函数的实例使用__proto__来访问其构造函数的prototype属性。

First we created a constructor: function Foo(){}. To be clear, Foo is just another function. But we can create an object from it with the new keyword. That's why we call it the constructor function Every function has a unique property which is called the prototype property. So, Constructor function Foo has a prototype property which points to its prototype, which is Foo.prototype (see image). Constructor functions are themselves a function which is an instance of a system constructor called the [[Function]] constructor. So we can say that function Foo is constructed by a [[Function]] constructor. So, __proto__ of our Foo function will point to the prototype of its constructor, which is Function.prototype. Function.prototype is itself is nothing but an object which is constructed from another system constructor called [[Object]]. So, [[Object]] is the constructor of Function.prototype. So, we can say Function.prototype is an instance of [[Object]]. So __proto__ of Function.prototype points to Object.prototype. Object.prototype is the last man standing in the prototype chain. I mean it has not been constructed. It's already there in the system. So its __proto__ points to null. Now we come to instances of Foo. When we create an instance using new Foo(), it creates a new object which is an instance of Foo. That means Foo is the constructor of these instances. Here we created two instances (x and y). __proto__ of x and y thus points to Foo.prototype.
