　　Today is a red-letter day for Peter and Sandy. They are going to marry on this day. As an old friend of them, Andy has been invited to attend the wedding ceremony. Here Andy has got a great idea. He wants to play trick on the bride Sandy. Andy knows that Sandy cannot drink but Peter can drink a lot. So he made up his mind to change their two cups when they come to propose a toast at the table. It is all set. Finally the young couple come to Andy's table with smile on their faces. To his great surprise, Andy's plan goes up in smoke because a man who is sitting beside him has picked up the very cup that is filled with liquor and drank it up!

　　这一天对于Peter和Sandy来说是red-letter day，因为今天是他们大喜的日子。Andy应邀参加婚礼，因为是好朋友嘛，所以Andy决定让从来不喝白酒的新娘喝一口白酒，开个玩笑，结果这杯事先准备好白酒的杯子却被同桌的一个朋友端起来一饮而尽！所以，Andy's plan went up in smoke finally.最后这个计划成为了泡影。可以想象Andy那个时候是多么的窘迫！

　　1) Today is a red-letter day.今天是个好日子。

　　2) Our plan went up in smoke.我们的计划成为泡影。
