实现Runnable的类被视为ExecutorServices的“可运行任务”吗?

I'm attempting to use Executors instead of synchronized methods to manage threads for me. But the submit method takes a Runnable task and not really a Runnable target, which is what I'm after, since I'm starting a single thread where the target class is going to be instantiated and ran, like so:

        thread = new Thread(this, "thread-process");
        thread.start();

我试图对执行者做一些等效的事情:

        this.exec = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
        this.exec.submit(this);

The thread seems to be starting and running fine as far as I can tell, but I'm not really sure if these are equivalents? Is this the way I should be dealing with runnable target threads when using Executors?
