"A peg on which to hang" = cái móc/cái mắc để treo -> cái cớ để làm gì.
Ví dụ
"I was able to help because I arranged the inaugural (khai trương, nhậm chức) dinner. We needed a peg on which to hang it. Along with Tim Ward's son, Andrew, I had just written 'The Derby County Story', and so the book was launched at a dinner, sponsored by my publishing company, at the Donington Thistle Hotel."
House Democrats never had anything close to that high standard. Instead, bullied by a hard-left base that has wanted the president impeached since the night he defeated Hillary Clinton, they viewed the convoluted Ukraine episode as a peg on which to hang their predisposition (tình trạng dễ thiên về, khuynh hướng thiên về) that Trump is unfit for office.
As with "The Notebook," the title memory fragment here offers the narrative a peg on which to hang the story of two guarded individuals learning to love again. Mae works as a curator (người phụ trách) at the Queens Museum. Her mother, a Louisiana native who moved north with young Mae to become a photographer, has recently passed, leaving behind two long, revealing letters tucked away in a safe deposit box. These are addressed to Mae and to her father.
