She'd just bought a new address book,and she'd spent the morning fill
ing in her many contacts,but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank
that comes after the words
"In case of emergency, please call ... ."
請問這邊的left是代表什麼意思?

to cause (something ...) to be or remain in aspecified condition ...-- often + -ing verb好的英漢辭典也應該有這條目

還是不太懂QQshe'd been left staring. << left在這有點不明白

她停留在 注視著這行空白欄(staring...blank) 的狀態可查一下字典唷!有一項解釋是 使保留；使保持(某種狀態)
