Maybe you should try another book. Have you checked Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++[^], which is freely downloadable?

That said, I can try to roughly explain what interface and implementation mean. Consider some class, for instance std::string. The interface is the public contract made between you and the class, by which you know wich member functions are exposed and how to use them. Implementation comes to the actual code the author of the class has written to honor this interface: so, std::string::apend is precisely defined for you to use, but is can be implemented in a number of different ways.
This general concept of interface vs implementation is applied in many contexts. You'll probably find it when dealing with abstract base classes, a very similar concept to that of interface in Java, in case you know that language.
