Correcto

• 优秀新闻不应只复述事件，更要用鲜活细节和真实故事，让读者感受背后的人情与社会肌理。(Good journalism should not merely retell events; it should use vivid details and real stories to let readers feel the human reality and social texture behind them.)
• 这位导演处理历史题材时坚持用鲜活人物代替概念符号，呈现他们在困境中的真实选择。(When dealing with historical subjects, this director insists on using vivid characters instead of abstract symbols, showing their real choices in difficult situations.)

Incorrecto

• 鲜活 for abstract or inanimate concepts that carry no inherent quality of life or vitality — the word requires a subject that can plausibly be described as living or life-like; use 生动 or 具体 for general vividness
