java this.name= name_thread(this, ThreadName)对于Java中这个语句，this是什么？

就拿这个程序为例。

public class GetCurrentThread implements Runnable {

Thread th;

public GetCurrentThread(String threadName) {

th = new Thread(this,threadName); //

System.out.println("get threadname "+th.getName());

th.start();

}

public void run() {

System.out.println(th.getName()+" is starting.....");

System.out.println("Current thread name : " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

}

public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.println("Current thread name : " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

new GetCurrentThread("1st Thread");

//new GetCurrentThread("2nd Thread");

}

}
