left doing vs left to do
- left doing 通常描述某人離開時，其正在進行的動作或所處的狀態。
- left to do 則強調離開後留下的、需要完成的任務或責任。
- 在描述離開時的情景時，left + 受詞 + doing 的結構很常見，例如 "I left him waiting"。
- 當表示「留下某物供他人使用」時，則常用 left + 受詞 + to + 動詞，例如 "She left a note to explain"。
對比例句： EN: He left the engine running while he ran into the store. 翻譯: 他跑進商店時，讓引擎繼續運轉著。
EN:He left a list of chores for me to do.
翻譯:他留了一份家務清單要我完成。
總結建議
一般來說，描述離開時的狀態用 "left doing"，而指離開後待辦的任務則用 "left to do"。

引述
在口語中，'left' 常用來引述或轉述某人離開的動作，通常與 'said'、'was like' 等引述動詞連用。 EN: She was like, "I can't do this anymore," and then she just left. 翻譯: 她當時就說：「我再也受不了了。」然後她就直接走了。
EN:He said he left his keys at the office and had to go back.
翻譯:他說他把鑰匙忘在辦公室了，必須回去拿。

EN:She completely left him hanging in the middle of the conversation.
翻譯:她完全在對話到一半時就把他晾在一邊（置之不理）。

正式寫作注意：在正式書寫（如報告、論文、正式信件）中，應避免上述口語用法。請使用更精確、完整的句子結構來描述離開的動作，例如 "departed"、"exited"、"concluded his departure"，並避免使用引述口語或填充詞。
