肯德基炸鸡配方遭到泄露

KFC describes its closely guarded original fried chicken recipe as “one of the biggest trade secrets in the world.” The company says the original handwritten recipe is housed in a 770-pound safe encased in two feet of concrete and guarded by video cameras and motion detectors.

肯德基将其严密守护的原创炸鸡配方称为“世界上最大的商业秘密之一”。该公司表示，最初的手写配方被放在一个770磅（约合350公斤）重的保险箱里，外面还封了两英尺厚水泥，另有摄像头和动作探测器监控。

It is the Fort Knox of fried chicken.

它就是炸鸡界的诺克斯堡（Fort Knox，美国国家金库所在地。——译注）。

Despite all that， the recipe for the spice blend used to prepare the chicken may have beenaccidentally revealed to a reporter for The Chicago Tribune by Joe Ledington， a nephew of theman who made the recipe famous. The newspaper printed the article， along with what mightbe the recipe， last week.

尽管如此，这个用来腌制鸡块的香料配方有可能已经被乔•莱丁顿（Joe Ledington）无意间泄露给了《芝加哥论坛报》（The Chicago Tribune）的一名记者。乔是让这个配方出名的人的侄子。上周，这家报纸发表了一篇文章，里面提到了这个有可能为真的配方。

The reporter， Jay Jones， was sent to Corbin， Ky.， to write a story for The Tribune’s travel sectionabout the town where the colonel served his first fried chicken.
