red-letter day的意思是“a special, happy, and important day that you will always remember”,即“喜庆日,值得纪念的日子,有特殊意义的日子”。

a red-letter day
喜庆节日,值得纪念的日子
letter这个词不仅能表示“信”,其还有“字母”的含义。red-letter day这个短语源于古罗马时期,在当时人们在日历上把重要的日子用红色标示。随着时间的发展,这个短语在如今就表示“重要纪念日,喜庆日”这样的含义了。

【例句】
June 2nd will be a red-letter day for him, he's getting married.
六月二日是他的大喜日子,他要结婚了。
That day our baby was born was a red-letter day.
我们孩子的出生之日是个值得纪念的日子。
