- 1撤離者、被疏散的人(和「難民」不一樣:通常是被安排離開、並預期回去)
An evacuee is a person sent away from a place because staying is dangerous — war, a fire, a flood, a chemical leak, a coming storm. The move is usually organised: a government, an army, or the police say “you must leave,” and people go to a safer town, a school hall, or another country for a time.

The famous picture in British English is the Second World War, when city children were sent to the countryside; those children were evacuees, and many stories still use the word that way. Today news uses it for anyone taken out of a disaster zone.

An evacuee is not automatically a refugee. A refugee has fled and often cannot safely go home, and may cross a border for a long stay; an evacuee is often meant to return when the danger has passed, and may only have moved to the next town. The word is a little formal — news and history more than playground talk — but it is the ordinary noun once you need to name the person, not just the action.

A person who has been evacuated, especially a civilian evacuated from a dangerous place in time of war
- In the three weeks since, the city has repeatedly relocated evacuees on short notice. To reopen schools, it bused many to armories, turning drill floors into open dormitories for the first time since a 1980s lawsuit halted the practice. […] Confusion about who was in charge made the chaos worse, said Annette Bethea, 49, another evacuee from the Rockaways.
