trade secret的解释:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/trade_secret
ODE双解:
trade secret:
a secret device or technique used by a company in manufacturing its products
行业秘密
LDOCE3双解:
a piece of secret information about a particular business, that is only known by the people who work there
商业秘密,行业秘密
MWCD11:
trade secret:
something (as a formula) which has economic value to a business because it is not generally known or easily discoverable by observation and for which efforts have been made to maintain secrecy
当然,从整句解释角度,柯氏也很好:
A trade secret is information that is known, used, and kept secret by a particular firm, for example about a method of production or a chemical process.
从以上解释看,trade secret主要指商业秘密(信息),而ODE的解释仅指出了device or technique,未能全面包含information的含义,相对而言,朗文双解解释的很到位,个人谨识。 |
