It's botha web server(supports HTTP protocol) and a web container(supports JSP/Servlet API, also called "servlet container" at times).
这是既一个web服务器（支持HTTP协议）和Web容器（支持JSP / Servlet API中，也有时称为“servlet容器”）。

A web server is any program that accepts incoming HTTP connections.
Web 服务器是任何接受传入 HTTP 连接的程序。

As mentioned above, Tomcat is both a web server and a web container, but it's not really meant to function as a high performance web server, nor does it include some features typical of a web server. Tomcat is meant to be used in conjunction with the Apache web server, where Apache manages static pages, caching, redirection, etc. and Tomcat handles the container (web application) functions. You'll often hear the phrase "Apache Tomcat" together, which is both a proper attribution of the Tomcat project (as part of the Apache Foundation), but also appropriate as a label, as they're usually used together as a package.
如上所述，Tomcat 既是 Web 服务器又是 Web 容器，但它并不是真正意义上的高性能 Web 服务器，也不包含 Web 服务器的一些典型功能。Tomcat 旨在与 Apache Web 服务器结合使用，其中 Apache 管理静态页面、缓存、重定向等，而 Tomcat 处理容器（Web 应用程序）功能。您经常会听到“Apache Tomcat”这个词，这既是 Tomcat 项目（作为 Apache 基金会的一部分）的正确归属，也适合作为标签，因为它们通常作为一个包一起使用。
If you don't have an high performance server requirements and/or want to embed a relatively simple web server with container functionality, Tomcat is fine for that (and probably the easiest embedded web container to work with, comparable with Jetty). Interestingly, the Catalinaclass used as the main Tomcat engine is actually a subclass of the Embeddedclass that can be used in a standalone web application.
如果您没有高性能服务器要求和/或想要嵌入具有容器功能的相对简单的 Web 服务器，Tomcat 非常适合（并且可能是最容易使用的嵌入式 Web 容器，与 Jetty 相当）。有趣的是，用作 Tomcat 主引擎的Catalina类实际上是Embedded类的子类，可以在独立的 Web 应用程序中使用。
