Memory trick · Prashant Sir
यहाँ spirits का मतलब है मन, mood। Mood ऊँचा हो तो आप ख़ुश और जोश से भरे हैं: in high spirits। Mood गिर जाए तो in low spirits।
'Spirits' here means your mood. When your mood is high, up in the air, you are cheerful and full of energy: in high spirits. When it falls, you are in low spirits.
