'Black mark beside (one's) name' = vết đen bên cạnh tên (của ai) -> lỗi lầm, ảnh hưởng tiêu cực do một lỗi lầm nào đó đã từng xảy ra gắn với một ai đó, giống như một lần phạm lỗi mà mang tiếng xấu ngàn đời đó các bạn.
Ví dụ
It was a tough decision to pull the project - and it was a decision that was bound to put a black mark beside Suffolk's name in government files. But it was a decision that many feel had to be taken if they weren't to drive the county into Northamptonshire-style bankruptcy (phá sản).
Coupar collected 49,836 votes running for park board compared to Stewart's 49,812 votes in the mayoral contest. More people put a black mark beside Coupar's name than beside Stewart's name. Some might say it's comparing apples to oranges when stacking up a park candidate's total against that of a mayoral candidate (ứng viên thị trưởng).
The failure (thất bại, không thích hợp) of policing in South Africa has been known for many years. Even from before the advent (đến, tới việc quan trọng) of democracy in 1994, South Africa's police services have had a black mark beside their name for either using excessive force on ordinary citizens or for being totally absent when most needed. The Marikana massacre (thảm sát) in 2012 is a sore reminder of how little things have changed in South African policing methodology (phương pháp luận).
