英語口語練習(xí)小對(duì)話 第138期:心思心緒
迷你對(duì)話：
A:What a washing machine! It’s getting worse today. Look! Now it doesn’t work at all. I think I need a new one.
這臺(tái)倒霉的洗衣機(jī)!今天更壞得不行了!你看，現(xiàn)在根本就不轉(zhuǎn)了。我想該買臺(tái)新的了。
B:Here’s an ad. about a big sale of washing machine. Do you want to see it?
這有一張關(guān)于洗衣機(jī)大幅度促銷的廣告。想看看嗎?
A:Of course! Let’s have a look. Great! In my frame of mind, I’d like to but one today.
當(dāng)然啦!讓我看看!太棒了!按我現(xiàn)在的心情，我就去買一臺(tái)。
地道表達(dá)：frame of mind
解詞釋義：frame的意思是“框架，結(jié)構(gòu)”;mind有“思想，思維”的意思，frame of mind直譯就是“思想狀態(tài)”，由此引申為“心情，心思，情緒”。
支持范例：
Eg. There is no use talking to him while he is in that low frame of mind.
在他情緒低落時(shí)與他談話是沒有用的。
Eg. While he's in a good frame of mind, you reward him for what he's done.
趁他心情好，你要獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)他的成績(jī)。
Eg. Now I fully understand the frame of mind of one residing in a place far away from home.
我現(xiàn)在可充分體會(huì)出游子的心境了。
Eg. I'm not in the right frame of mind to start discussing money.
我現(xiàn)在沒心思來商量錢的問題。
