Being 'on the run' means you are a fugitive actively evading capture. Different from 'on the lam' (which has a more old-fashioned feel). Can also be used loosely for being very busy.

处于'在逃'状态意味着你是正在积极逃避抓捕的逃犯。与'on the lam'不同（后者有一种比较老派的感觉）。也可以宽泛地用于形容非常忙碌。

Estar 'on the run' significa ser un fugitivo que evade activamente su captura. Distinto de 'on the lam' (que tiene un aire más anticuado). También se usa en sentido coloquial para estar muy ocupado o ajetreado.

「オン・ザ・ラン」とは逮捕を逃れている逃亡者であることを意味する。「on the lam」（やや古風な響き）とは異なる。また、非常に忙しいという意味でもカジュアルに使われる。

'On the run'은 도주범으로서 적극적으로 체포를 피하고 있다는 의미. 'On the lam'(좀 더 구식 느낌)과는 다르다. 느슨하게는 매우 바쁜 상태를 표현할 때도 사용된다.
