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 1 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。
