earner [ˈɜːnə]
n. (Commerce, informal Brit. and Austrl.) an activity or thing that produces income, esp illicitly: a nice little earner.
中文可以翻為 '搖錢樹'、'台柱 (商業利益上的)'，這是種較不正式的詼諧用法。
ex. Shirley Temple, an actress, singer, and dancer, with the bouncing golden curls and lovely smiles, proved to be an overnight success and a top earner for the film company.
