这里的around意思是“出现”“存在”等，在具体语境中需灵活处理。MacBike has been around for almost 30 years 的字面意思是“MacBike成立差不多30年了”。
类似的用法如：
The play has been around for years. 该剧已上演多年了。
That joke’s been around for years. 那个笑话已经流传多年了。
That type of phone has been around for some years now. 那种电话机已经问世多年了。
Digital television has been around for some time now. 数字电视已经面市一段时间了。
The idea has been around for ages without catching on. 这个观点由来已久，但一直未风行。
