flee--逃跑? 躲避?--英语翻译的问题!!

先说结论, 一些英汉字典的翻译很不准确。
所以 如果可以的话还是使用 英语字典吧.

例子:
flee: 逃, 消失; 逃避; 逃走; 逃跑
咋看起来 这个词 像是贬义词..

找几个例句:
1.Several thousand civilians fled fighting in the shrinking patch of northern Sri Lanka controlled by the rebel Tamil Tigers.
2.Earthquake victims have been forced to flee their homes.
3.Police caught up with one of the gang, but the other three fled.

MacMillan English Dictionary - American的解释
to escape from a dangerous situation or place very quickly:
从这个解释看 它是不属于贬义词的。。

感觉翻译成 躲避 更加恰当
