<< review queue entry 58803 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> 1. it's not (necessarily) flee; it's not to scatter, a single person can 流窜 A single sentence from J will prove both points: "He went about in the disguise of a sailor. 他伪装成海员到处流窜。" 2. dicts do say things like 到处流动转徙(roam)；乱逃 (flee) and also（多指盗匪或敌人） 窜 suggests the movement of a rodent, who goes in every tight place, and also trying to stay out of view 3. TP has a number of examples, I haven't looked at all; some suggest the word even applies to inanimate things. 夾雜著兩兄弟天真活潑的笑聲，在平靜的山野裡四處流竄。The lively and innocent laughter of the two boys ran counterpoint to the threshing machine's steady buzz and resounded through the green hills all around them. 尤其是地攤文化，表示有一種掠奪性格還在台北底層流竄！」"They've got all those illegal street vendors there. There's still a spirit of plunder about the place!" 濃煙、火苗就在樓中四處流竄 Thick smoke and flames spread rapidly in all directions 雨水無從宣洩，反倒沿著涵箱倒灌流竄，With nowhere to go, water backed up through culverts into the streets, 在全球游資流竄 in an age when capital freely flows throughout the world 大量資訊在網路上流竄 explosion of information which has since coursed through Internet channels 一盒一盒的沖天炮跟著隊伍前進，向四方夜空流竄 wave after wave of skyward fireworks bursting in all directions in the dark night sky 深邃的輪廓與血液裡流竄的山林曠野基因 his deepset features betrayed his Aboriginal heritage 死病毒到處流竄的醫院內 at a hospital where the disease is rampant 憑著「讓電流流竄全身」 would conduct electricity through his body I find the same sense on one J's sentence, for persons When winos and drunks filtered up from the Bowery to panhandle on his beat he get rid of them so roughly that they never came back. 当酒鬼、醉汉从农场街流窜过来讨他打的时候，他就拳打脚踢地把他们赶跑。 他们吃了亏，下回就再也不敢来了。 and probably in LA's example 「這些毒販已經流竄入境」 although their def doesn't cover it adequately (from their def you would understand that these people fled into the country) |
