正确说法

• 贩卖毒品属于严重刑事犯罪，依法最高可判处死刑，任何以利益为驱动铤而走险的行为都将付出极其沉重的法律代价。(Trafficking in drugs constitutes a serious criminal offence; the maximum penalty under law is death, and anyone driven by profit to take such risks will pay an extremely heavy legal price.)
• 平台算法助长了贩卖情绪和制造对立的内容。(Platform algorithms have encouraged content that sells emotions and manufactures opposition.)

错误说法

• 贩卖 for legitimate retail business — use 销售、出售 or 经营 instead; 贩卖 carries a strong criminal or exploitative connotation that would be inappropriate for a normal shop or business
