!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

DAILY UPDATED ENGLISH IDIOMS WITH PICTURES. IN THE RED. 2011-08-05. 08-05-2011.


IN THE RED.
 Meaning: If a person or a company is in the red, their debts are greater than their assets.
For example:
Even if we make a profit this year, we owe so much money that we'll probably still be in the red. 
I don't like being in the red, so I don't borrow money.
Note: This comes from the practice in accounting of using red ink to make entries into a "debits" column. 
Quick Quiz:
If someone is in the red they
A) are owed money
B)owe money
C)have been owed money
