“iPhone”的“i”是什么意思？你絕對不知道！

The question still remains about what the s and the c stand for in the iPhone, though there are theories and evidence to back up several meanings. For the i Apple uses in the branding of its products, the answers have been revealed.

盡管有許多理論證明s和c在iPhone中的一些含義，但s和c在iPhone中真正代表什么意思其實(shí)還是個問題。但對于蘋果在其產(chǎn)品的品牌推廣中使用的i的含義，其實(shí)答案早已揭曉。

The meaning of the i in devices such as the iPhone and iMac was actually revealed by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs a long time ago. Back in 1998, when Jobs introduced the iMac, he explained what the i stands for in Apple's product branding.

在iPhone和iMac等設(shè)備中，i的含義其實(shí)是由蘋果聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫•喬布斯(Steve Jobs)很久以前提出的。1998年，當(dāng)喬布斯推出iMac時，他解釋了i在蘋果產(chǎn)品品牌中的含義。

The i stands for Internet, Jobs explained. The iMac's job was to make accessing the Internet simpler and more intuitive, though intuitive wasn't revealed to be one of the words represented by that i.

“i”代表互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，喬布斯解釋道。iMac的任務(wù)是讓上網(wǎng)變得更簡單、更直觀，盡管直觀(intuitive)并不是i所代表的單詞之一。

Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the number one use that consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the Internet - simply, and fast, Jobs said. And that is what this product is targeted for.

喬布斯說:“即便這是一臺真正意義上的麥金托什機(jī)，但我們致力于做好消費(fèi)者用它的第一用途，也就是他們想要一臺電腦做的第一件事——就是上網(wǎng)。”這就是這個產(chǎn)品的目標(biāo)。

Macintosh n. Apple公司于1984年推出的一種系列微機(jī) 蘋果公司生產(chǎn)的一種型號的計算機(jī) (Mac)麥金托什機(jī)

But like compact and cheap, some of the words thrown around for the c in devices like the iPhone 5c, the i has more than one meaning. It's just that Internet would be the first definition of the i if there was a dictionary on Apple terms.

但就像在iPhone 5c等設(shè)備中出現(xiàn)的一些有關(guān)c的詞，compact(簡潔的)、cheap一樣，i也有不止一個意思。如果有一本關(guān)于蘋果術(shù)語的字典的話，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)將是i的第一個定義。

Secondary meanings of the i include individual, inspire, inform and instruct.

其次則是“個人”、“啟發(fā)”、“告知”和“教導(dǎo)”。
