peer agreement (net): +1to be left completely on one's own at one's old age Explanation: Не хватает контекста. Какую идею нужно передать? Одиночества или беспомощности? Как вариант: to be left completely on one's own at one's old age Думаю, как-то так, если нужно подчеркнуть именно идею одиночества без акцента на беспомощности и невозможности себя обслужить. |
