核心句型：
This is a red-letter day for you.
今天是你的大好日子。
a red-letter day直译过来就是：“有红色字母的一天”，这个短语的正确意思是：“值得纪念的或喜庆的日子”。因此，当美国人说"This is a red-letter day for you."时，他/她要表达的意思就是"Today is very important for you."、"It's a special day for you."。

雪莉：我太高兴了，今天的会议上我被提拔到管理层了！
Jane: Wow, this is a red-letter day for you. Congratulations!
