    Children should not be left unattended in the playground.

    逐字孩子們不應該被留在遊樂場無人看管。

    「unattended」形容人或東西「旁邊沒有負責看著／照顧的人」。核心畫面可以想成「沒人在管」——小孩、行李、腳踏車、店面，只要暫時沒人照料，就可以用它。它跟 alone 容易搞混：alone 是「自己一個人」；unattended 是「沒人負責看管」。車站、機場常見 leave luggage unattended（把行李放著無人看管）。

core核心畫面

Picture a bag sitting by itself on a station bench, or a pot left on the stove: the thing is there, but nobody is with it. The word names that gap — not that the thing is lost, but that no one is keeping an eye on it.

可以想成：車站長椅上獨自擺著的一個包，或是爐火上沒人顧的鍋子——東西還在，只是身邊沒有人。這個字標記的就是那個空缺：不是東西不見了，而是「沒有人在看著」。也因為如此，它最常出現在提醒和規定裡。
