2.one fine day
“One fine day”从字面看是“美好的一天”但是在表示一个未知的时间的时候可以引申为“突然有一天”，“总有一天”。（小编理解为过去的时间：突然间在某个不确定的或不显眼的一天（的某个未知的时间）） one fine day的英文解释：Suddenly on some unspecified or unremarkable day；at some unspecified or unknown time也就是突然间在某个不确定的或不显眼的一天（的某个未知的时间）。例如：
I hadn't seen him for ten years. Then one fine day he just turned up.我有10年没见他了，突然有一天他出现了。

4.great day
也不是表示“好的一天”，而是可以用在句子开口表示“我的天啊！”，我们熟悉的“我的天啊”一般是用“Oh my god!”，但是在国外其实这句话不是经常说的，而且也不能随便说。在面对虔诚的宗教徒的时候“God”可是非常神圣的，是不能够随便称呼的。
就算不是宗教信徒也不是很常说“Oh my god!”，这句话只在很惊讶的时候说，平常说大家只会觉得你戏很多，所以还是使用“great day”好一点。例句：
Great day! I didn’t expect to see you here. 我的天啊！没想到能在这里见到你。
当然，great day，也表示：一个不同寻常的日子
When the great day dawned, the first concern was the weather
当那个不同寻常的日子到来时，大家首先关注的是天气。

8. black day
原来black day是指“倒霉的一天；凶日；不吉利的一天”，同理，"white day" 不是“白天”，而是“白色情人节；良辰吉日”的意思。
例句：Yesterday was a black day for me.
昨天对我来说是个倒霉的日子。

他们选择良辰吉日订婚。

9.rainy day
是指你可能会遇到困难或麻烦的一段时期。
rainy day可以指困难时期，常常搭配do something for a rainy day；save, keep, etc. sth for a rainy day也就是我们说的“未雨绸缪，以备不时之需”的意思。
看个英语例句：
I know you want to buy a new phone with your bonus，but you should really save that money for a rainy day.
我知道你想用你的奖金买一个新手机，但是你真的应该存下那笔钱以备不时之需。
最后，希望大家学习英语要贵在持之以恒，因为罗马不是一天建成的：
Rome wasn't built in a day.
罗马不是一天建成的；复杂的工作不会一蹴而就。
