"When one's ship comes in" = khi thuyền cập bến -> nghĩa là trở nên giàu có hoặc thành công.

Ví dụ
As Judge Schmails once said, "It's easy to grin when your ship comes in," but when things are not going your way over an extended period of time and that little voice in your head predicts (tiên đoán) your almost certain doom, wouldn't it be nice to have someone next to you uttering encouraging words and reminding you, this has happened before. You can do it!

Virginia law now states that anyone winning more than $10 million in the lottery can remain anonymous (ẩn danh). No more worrying about being hounded by those second cousins once removed who seem to appear out of thin air on the dock beside you when your ship comes in.

From the water’s edge, I spy a nicely situated French restaurant, T’suki de la Mer. Opened 13 years ago, the establishment has one of the city’s nicest bay views, and an haute cuisine (đồ ăn thượng hạng) menu that looks fabulous. That’s the place to go when your ship comes in.
