Left with意思

"Left with" is an English phrase that means "to be in the position of having to do something or to be in a particular situation." It implies that someone or something has been left behind, abandoned, or is the remaining option. Here are a few examples:

  1. After the party, we were left with a lot of leftover food. (After the party, we had a lot of food that was not eaten.)

  2. The children were left with a babysitter while their parents went out. (The children were given to the babysitter to take care of while their parents went out.)

  3. When the storm hit, we were left with no electricity. (When the storm came, we lost our electricity.)

  4. The old couple was left with nothing after their house was destroyed by the fire. (The old couple did not have anything left after their house burned down.)

  5. Since both options seemed bad, we were left with the difficult decision of choosing the lesser evil. (Because both options seemed bad, we had to choose the one that was less bad.)

In each of these examples, "left with" indicates that the subject is in a particular situation or has a particular responsibility as a result of something else happening.
