核心畫面
You can think of trafficking as a long hidden line of movement. Something that is not allowed to be is picked up at one end, passed along in secret from hand to hand, and sold at the other end. The word names the whole line — the getting, the moving and the selling — rather than one exchange between two people.

「trafficking」可以想成一條藏起來的輸送線。一端把不該買賣的東西弄到手。中間一手接一手，偷偷運過一個又一個地方。另一端賣掉換錢。這個字指的是整條線，不是線上的某一次交易。所以聽到 trafficking 的時候，腦中要浮現的是一門見不得光的生意，而不是一次買賣。也因為是「一門生意」，它後面常跟著 ring（集團）、network（網絡）這些字。From the word’s history
Trafficking is traffic plus -ing. Traffic has long carried the sense of goods going to and fro in trade, and -ing turns it into the activity itself, so the word names trade that keeps moving.
「trafficking」是 traffic 加上 -ing。traffic 本來就有「貨物來往交易」的意思，-ing 把它變成「正在進行的活動」。所以字面上就是「東西一直在流通買賣」，只是今天這個字幾乎只留在違法那一邊。
