美国网站公布疑似可口可乐配方

碳酸饮料可口可乐已经风靡全球近百年，其独家配方一直是顶级的商业机密。然而最近美国一个播客网站却宣称掌握了可口可乐汽水的秘密配方，引起各界关注。网站公布了这份总共含有七种成分的配方以及每种成分的配比：8盎司酒精、20滴橙子精油、30滴柠檬精油、10滴肉豆蔻精油、5滴香菜精油、10滴橙花精油和10滴肉桂精油。

The exact ingredients of Coca-cola invented by a medicinal chemist in 1886, have always been shrouded in mystery. The details of the recipe are said to be kept under 24-hour guard in a vault in Atlanta. But now a US website claims to have uncovered a list, in a 1979 newspaper article, showing the ingredients and quantities used to make the drink.
1886年，某药用化学家研发出了可口可乐配方，直至今日，详细配方依然是未解之谜。据说，配方保管在亚特兰大某处的保险库内，24小时有人看护。但是，如今美国一家网站爆料：早在1979年的一份报纸文章中将配方公布于众了，包括可口可乐的原料名称和份量。
The February 8 edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a photo of someone holding open a book showing a recipe which is purported to be an exact replica of the original formula. The US website has also published a similar list by Joe Jacobs, owner of the pharmacy where Coca-Cola was first served. However, Jacobs’s list has extra ingredients such as prune juice and clover.
《亚特兰大宪法报》二月份第八版发布了一张照片，照片中有人手举一本翻开的书，向公众展示可口可乐原配方复印件。该美国网站还发布了可口可乐”发源药店的经理人乔伊雅各布的配方。但是，后者的配方中还有一些额外的成分，比如西梅汁和三叶草。

Coca-Cola contains a number of essential oils and it is the precise way that these are blended together that is responsible for the drink’s unique flavor. This blend makes up the secret ingredient, known as Merchandise 7X, which comprises less than one percent of the formula.
可口可乐含有一系列精油，用某种加工工艺将它们混合后，独特的可乐味才得以产生。而这种工艺被称之为“商品 7X”，正是配方的秘密所在，而在整个配方中分量不到1%。
In 1993, author Mark Pendergrast published an exposé of the cola industry and included what he said was the original formula. The ingredients and quantities on this list are very similar to those seen in the photo, although the company has always said that Pendergrast’s recipe is not the same as the one it uses.
早在1993年，作家马克出版了一部可乐工业的著作，并列出了一份所谓的原始配方。配方中的原料名称和份量和《亚特兰大宪法报》照片中的几乎一样，但可口可乐公司称马克的配方并不可靠。
