Definition

Verb Phrase: - To withdraw in haste / to retreat hastily: A compound verb describing the act of pulling back or withdrawing from a position, typically in a military or confrontational context, in a hurried and often disorderly manner to escape danger or a stronger force. It combines the ideas of strategic withdrawal ("rút") and fleeing ("chạy").

Usage Examples
  • Verb Phrase:

    • Sau trận đánh thất bại, họ buộc phải rút chạy về căn cứ. (After the failed battle, they were forced to retreat hastily to their base.)
Advanced Usage
  • The phrase often implies a loss of control or a disorganized retreat, rather than a planned, orderly withdrawal. It is frequently used in historical or news contexts to describe military defeats.
  • It can be applied metaphorically to non-military situations where someone abandons a plan, argument, or position quickly under pressure.
    • Khi bị chất vấn, anh ta đã rút chạy khỏi cuộc tranh luận. (When questioned, he beat a hasty retreat from the debate.)

  • Tháo chạy (v): To flee, to run away. This emphasizes the fleeing aspect more than the strategic withdrawal.
