First sentence: The transition layer (Fig. 1.1) between two immiscible fluids (as well as between a fluid and a solid body) has a thickness of microscopic size (usually few molecular diameters) and is considered as twodimensional surface from the point of view of macroscopic theories (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, etc.).
