可以用on that day,但that day比on that day更口语化、更常用，在意义上基本上没有什么差异，均表示“当天，那天”。不过，on that day的时间概念稍显明确一些，可译为“在那天，在当天，在那一天”。如：

Don't come at me, I did nothing that day. 别冲我来, 我那天什么也没做。《简明英汉词典》

He was exulting in a win at the show earlier that day. 他正在为当天早些时候在节目中胜出而欢欣鼓舞。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》

What really happened on that day so long ago. 很久前的那一天到底发生了什么事？《朗文当代英语词典》

▲that day可作主语或宾语，而on that day则不能。
