System.out.println

[Keith Lockey]

I understand that out is a static variable or field of type PrintStream in the System class. Println is a public void method in the PrintStream class.
I don't understand fields very well. Does the fact that the field out is static insure that the method println is static as well?
Could anyone show other examples that might help my confusion?

System.out is a standard output device~
like ostream::cout in C++ ,output the result
command line of console
