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。

A:Of course! Let’s have a look. Great! In my frame of mind, I’d like to but one today.

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。
