This is what I left: an empty chair at the table, the scent of my skin on the sheets, an old painting, a sleeping dog, a blue pitcher, my lingering shadow on the front steps before I let go.

这些都是我留下来的：桌边的一把空椅子、我的皮肤留在床单上的气味、一幅老画、一只睡眼惺忪的狗、一个蓝色的水壶，我放手之前徘徊在门前台阶上的阴影。

Except for a broken chair, the room is empty.

除了一张破椅子，房间是空的。
