"illicit" 和 "illegal" 这两个英文单词在含义上有一些区别。"illicit" 通常用来描述违法但不一定违反道德标准的行为，比如说违法的交易、违禁品的交易等。而 "illegal" 则更强调违法行为违反了法律规定，是被明确规定为非法的。在文化和语言背景下，"illicit" 更多地与道德和伦理有关，而 "illegal" 更多地与法律和规定有关。
举例来说：
- "He was involved in illicit activities such as smuggling contraband goods."（他参与了诸如走私违禁品之类的非法活动。）
- "It is illegal to park in front of a fire hydrant."（在消防栓前停车是违法的。）
总的来说，"illicit" 更侧重于违反道德规范，而 "illegal" 更侧重于违反法律规定。

"Illicit" means it is breaking some kind of rule, which might be a law, a rule of an organization, or a custom. Illegal means breaking a law only.
