迷你对话学地道口语第138期:心思心绪(在线收听

  迷你对话:
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.
这台倒霉的洗衣机!今天更坏得不行了!你看,现在根本就不转了。我想该买台新的了。
B:Here’s an ad. about a big sale of washing machine. Do you want to see it?
这有一张关于洗衣机大幅度促销的广告。想看看吗?
A:Of course! Let’s have a look. Great! In my frame of mind, I’d like to but one today.
当然啦!让我看看!太棒了!按我现在的心情,我就去买一台。
地道表达:frame of mind
解词释义:frame的意思是“框架,结构”;mind有“思想,思维”的意思,frame of mind直译就是“思想状态”,由此引申为“心情,心思,情绪”。
支持范例:
Eg. There is no use talking to him while he is in that low frame of mind.
在他情绪低落时与他谈话是没有用的。
Eg. While he's in a good frame of mind, you reward him for what he's done.
趁他心情好,你要奖励他的成绩。
Eg. Now I fully understand the frame of mind of one residing in a place far away from home.
我现在可充分体会出游子的心境了。
Eg. I'm not in the right frame of mind to start discussing money.
我现在没心思来商量钱的问题。
