"In dribs and drabs" = nhỏ từng giọt -> nghĩa là định kì nhưng với số lượng rất nhỏ, từng li từng tí một.
Ví dụ
I’ll tell you more about these towers (tháp) at 420 Kent Ave. in a minute. But first, a word of explanation (giải thích). Spaces that afford public access to North Brooklyn’s formerly industrial waterfront are opening up in dribs and drabs.
“That’s why we are still continuing with the fundraising campaign (chiến dịch gây quỹ),” said Benisch. “The cash right now is coming in dribs and drabs and there isn’t enough on hand to cover the gap we all expected. The good news is that no one has not paid their pledge (vật thế chấp) and we have an understanding and solid handle on the situation. Crockett [Farnell of Black Dragon Development] is in the loop. This was not unexpected.”
China is also dangling (đu đưa) their pledges of tens of billions in foreign direct (đầu tư trực tiếp) investment and trade, which it is releasing in dribs and drabs. He may be a hard man at home but, where China’s concerned, you can count on Duterte to mind his manners.
