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。
