A trigger question

I read the apex developer's guide and at  the bulk trigger part found this "

The code block of a trigger cannot contain the static keyword.Triggers can only contain keywords applicable to an inner
class."

what does this mean?

It refers to the word "static"

 

you cannot write static functions/variables within triggers. The ff. example will produce a compile error...

 

 

trigger accountTrigger on Account (before insert) 
{
    static String strValue;
}
