"Meal ticket" = vé ăn -> nghĩa là người chu cấp kinh tế, người bao ăn hoặc công việc tạo ra thu nhập chính.

Ví dụ
The deliberations began a day after prosecutors (người khởi tố) said in closing arguments that Avenatti saw the youth basketball coach who approached him for help last year as a "meal ticket."

Though Cespedes preferred to play the part of a rancher (chủ trại chăn nuôi gia súc), baseball is his meal ticket. But every time a contract (hợp đồng) is about to expire, Cespedes hears a bell, a reminder again he is a baseball player.

Suffice to say while his behaviour is troubling to many, the rednecks, white supremacists (người cho rằng da trắng là ưu việt) and trailer park trash that constitute a significant portion of his base are precious commodities for his fellow Republicans who see him as a meal ticket for their own electability (khả năng được bầu).
