Learner notes
Memory Tip
想象拥堵的traffic（车流）里每辆车都在被转手倒卖——动词traffic就是“买卖、交易”的意思。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：正式新闻报道、法律/警方文书、历史/文学叙述 traffic 作动词时，通常用于正式或书面语境，尤其多出现在毒品、人口等非法交易的新闻报道和法律文书中；在表示一般“买卖、交换”时也偏正式，口语中较少直接使用动词。具体含义常需结合宾语和上下文判断。
Grammar Note
作及物动词时意为'用...作交换'；作不及物动词时意为'交易，做买卖'。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 traffic /ˈtræfɪk/ 押韵：graphic /ˈɡræfɪk/、photographic /ˌfoʊtəˈɡræfɪk/、geographic /ˌdʒiːəˈɡræfɪk/（重音后的元音和辅音均为 /æfɪk/）。注意 specific /spəˈsɪfɪk/ 和 pacific /pəˈsɪfɪk/ 拼写看似相近，但发音为 /sɪfɪk/，与 traffic 不押韵。
