逃跑

逃跑 (táo pǎo) means 'to run away' or 'to flee,' typically in a situation of danger, fear, or to avoid something unpleasant. It is often used when someone is escaping from a difficult or threatening situation.

The character 逃 (táo) originally meant 'to escape' or 'to evade,' while 跑 (pǎo) means 'to run.' Together, they form a compound verb that emphasizes the physical act of fleeing or escaping quickly.

逃跑 is commonly used in both everyday speech and media. It can imply cowardice or desperation, depending on context. In Chinese culture, running away from responsibility or problems is generally seen as negative, and the phrase is often used to describe someone avoiding consequences.
