• Black Sheep of the Family
The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is unacceptable. In the old days, the black sheep were sold at a lower price than the white ones at the market, because their fleece (羊毛) could not be coloured. This made the black sheep an unwelcome member of the group.
• A Red - letter Day
A Red - letter Day is a day when something really exciting and memorable (难忘的) happens. It came from the practice of marking special Western days, holidays, or other festivals in red on the calendar. Today, some calendars still use red numbers for special holidays.
