Ví dụ

“Tommie got a deep flesh wound above the eye, it’s unfortunate to be in an area where it does bleed heavily and it can take eight or nine minutes to stitch (khâu, đính). He was compos mentis, absolutely fine in that sense, but we weren’t prepared to play with ten men for that long. Hopefully though he should be fine for the game at the weekend.”

Whether or not the show could go no without him is still undetermined, however, Lord Sugar did express his views on this just last year where he called himself ‘irreplaceable’. ‘I’ve often had thoughts of when am I going to give it up, Next season will be the 16th. I think I would max out at 20 years, a 20-year ceremony,’ he told journalist Laura Harding. ‘I think enough is enough then, I would be 77 and I might not be compos mentis by then, you never know.’

he also claimed that the students have only resumed on their own volition without being officially asked to resume whereas they were officially asked to resume and this was announced in various media of mass communication, the danger of the cognitive dissonance (bất hòa về nhận thức, kinh nghiệm) presently displayed by the Rector is that it may metamorphose (biến hình, biến hóa) to cognitive derailment (sự trật bánh) which may be inimical (thù địch, độc hại) to the interest of the institution as effective management of an institution of higher learning requires a pretty sound mind for the boss to be compos mentis.
