用法筆記

Distinguish from refugee: a refugee is someone who flees war or persecution (often with UN legal status), while an emigre is typically an educated or middle-class person who leaves specifically for political reasons. The word carries a slightly formal or historical tone, often used for intellectuals, artists, and political figures who left during a revolution or under an oppressive regime.
