4 A Macintosh is an apple variety
4. “麦金塔”是一种苹果的名字。
The Apple Macintosh is so called because the macintosh was Jef Raskin’s favourite variety of Apple.
“麦金塔”（Macintosh）是苹果个人电脑的一个系列，根据该项目发起人杰夫·拉斯金最爱的苹果品种而命名。
At the time it was just a codename, which Steve Jobs reportedly tried to change to “bicycle” while Raskin was out of the office, but Macintosh stuck until the end of product development and made it onto the box.
一开始“麦金塔”只是一个项目代号而已。据相关报道称，乔布斯曾试图在拉斯金不在公司的时候将其改为“自行车”（bicycle）。但“麦金塔”最终还是被保留了下来，并出现在大小包装盒上。
