While changing my old thermostat to New Nest Learning Thermostat, I observed that I have 4 wires. Green (connected to G). Red (connected to Rc and R), White (connected to W), Black (connected to Y). 

I am not understand the black wire in Y. Please help.

There is no color standard for the thermostat wires.

Just match the terminals on your original thermostat to the Nest thermostat. Don't worry about the jumper between Rc and R
