　　Here is a story:

　　It has been two months since their first date. She has been feeling very well, but during this whole week, she didn't receive his call at all. She is a bit down in the dumps. What has happened? Why didn't he call me? Has he got a new girlfriend? No, he is such a gentleman that nobody thinks that he is a playboy. After thinking about this, she decided to call him. Unfortunately, he was power off. Now she is really at the end of her rope.

　　1) She is at the edge of her rope.她无计可施了。

　　2) She is down in the dumps.她很沮丧。
