(创建一个距离1970年1月1日00:00:00有Seconds的日期实例）


+ (NSDate *)distantFuture
Function:Creates and returns an NSDate object representing a date in the distant future.
(返回一个距离现在很久的将来日期类实例）


+ (NSDate *)distantPast
Function:Creates and returns an NSDate object representing a date in the distant past.
(返回一个距离现在很久的过去日期类实例）


+ (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate
Function:Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to the current date and time by a given number of seconds.
Function:Returns the interval between 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001 and the current date and time.
(返回一个现在距离2001年的时间）


instance of class
- (instancetype)initWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
Function:Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to the current date and time by a given number of seconds.
(初始化一个距离现在有Seconds的实例）


- (instancetype)initWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
                                     sinceDate:(NSDate *)refDate
Function:Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to another given date by a given number of seconds.
(初始化一个距离日期实例refDateyou有seconds的实例）


- (instancetype)initWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
Function:Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001 by a given number of seconds.
(初始化一个距离2001年有Seconds的实例）


- (instancetype)initWithTimeIntervalSince1970:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
Function：Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 by a given number of seconds.
（初始化一个距离1970年有Seconds的实例）


Comparing Date


- (BOOL)isEqualToDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate
Function:Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a given object is an NSDate object and exactly equal the receiver.
(返回一个数值：与另一个日期对象相比较是否相等）


- (NSDate *)earlierDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate
Function:Returns the earlier of the receiver and another given date.
(两个日期对象相比 返回更早日期的那个日期对象）


- (NSDate *)laterDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate
Function：Returns the later of the receiver and another given date.
（两个日期对象相比 返回更晚日期的那个对象）


- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSDate *)anotherDate
Function:Returns an NSComparisonResult value that indicates the temporal ordering of the receiver and another given date.
(两个对象相等：返回0 目标对象比参数（another)晚：返回1 | 目标对象比参数（another)早：返回-1)


Geting Timer Intervals


- (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalSinceDate:(NSDate *)anotherDate
Function:Returns the interval between the receiver and another given date.
(返回一个在目标和参数间的时间值（seconds))



Add A Time Interval


- (instancetype)dateByAddingTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)seconds
Function:Returns a new NSDate object that is set to a given number of seconds relative to the receiver.
(返回一个日期对象：距离目标有Seconds）


description
- (NSString *)descriptionWithLocale:(id)locale
