"Left somebody to their own devices" có device là thiết bị, phương tiện -> cụm từ này nghĩa là để mặc ai tự xoay xở (không bị điều khiển, không cần sự giúp đỡ).
Ví dụ
The students were left to their own devices when the teacher failed to appear on time.
Homeless kids with no expectations (kỳ vọng) don’t go to college. And truth be told, it wasn’t on DeSilva’s radar when he found himself left to his own devices, sink or swim, starve or not. But the Posse Foundation identifies potential diamonds from rough circumstances and sends them there, with a total count of more than 6,000 since it began with a handful of students in New York in 1989.
The sisters pursue developing a relationship with their estranged (ly thân) mother: Jackie out of a desire to know Sherrell and Rachel from the fear Sharell will take away their home. Meanwhile, Jackie’s daughter Dodge begins her journey into adulthood. Mostly left to her own devices, Dodge befriends Olivia (Arica Himmel), the daughter of the family’s accountant, who helps Dodge navigate (định hướng) her first period.
