"Run for (one's) life" = Chạy vì sự sống còn của mình -> Cố gắng chạy nhanh nhất có thể để thoát được sự nguy hiểm, cứu lấy mạng sống mình.

Ví dụ
A man who took pictures of knife-point car jackers in Norwich had to run for his life after being chased by two men with a shotgun, a court has heard.

“All these kids warned me against it (due to a big dog in the yard), but they boosted me up over the wall,” he said. “When I went over the fence, I didn’t have anybody to help me get back over the fence. I had to run for my life and find a way out. People seem to be excited about a decision I made 46 years ago, and then 26 years ago he made a decision to write this movie.”

Mohamud also sought to make contact with a known extremist (người cực đoan). One eyewitness (nhân chứng có mặt tại hiện trường) told at the time how she heard a "bloodcurdling scream" (tiếng thét ghê rợn) then jumped on the tracks to run for her life. Shortly after the attacks, a witness had told how the knifeman shouted "Allah" before he began slashing at innocent commuters (người đi lại vô tội).
