Unattended items announcement

un-uh-TEN-did /ˌʌnəˈtendɪd/
Formal Neutral

What it really means

Stations constantly announce that luggage left alone ("unattended") may be removed or destroyed by security. Never leave your bag anywhere, even for a minute — it can cause a security alert and delays.

Chinese explanation
车站循环广播:无人看管的行李可能被安保移走或销毁。任何时候都不要把包放下走开,哪怕一分钟——可能引发安全警报和延误。

Example conversation

A: Please do not leave your luggage unattended. Unattended items may be removed and destroyed. B: Watch my bag while I get a coffee, will you? I do not want it taken away.
A:请勿将行李置于无人看管状态,无人看管的物品可能被移走并销毁。 B:我去买杯咖啡,你帮我看下包,别让人给收走了。
