日期本身没有任何时区。它的 toString（）方法使用当前的默认时区返回一个表示此日期的字符串：

The date itself doesn't have any time zone. Its toString() method uses the current default time zone to return a String representing this date:

Date date = new Date();

System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault());
System.out.println(date);

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault());
System.out.println(date);

在我的机器上执行上述代码将导致以下输出：

Executing the above code on my machine leads to the following output:

sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Europe/Paris",offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=184,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Paris,offset=3600000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2]]
