“Riddle (someone/ something) with” = làm thủng lỗ, đục lỗ (bằng viên đạn…). Còn “be riddled with (something)” dùng với nghĩa bao gồm, toàn là điều gì đó.

Ví dụ
A Florida family grieving (đau buồn) the death of a man fatally shot in June was distressed (đau khổ) to see is memorial riddled with bullets.

A couple say they are stuck in their £350,000 dream home after it turned into a nightmare (biến thành ác mộng) riddled with problems that need fixing.

Can it be true... the gluten-free, macrobiotic vegan (chế độ ăn chay) wonder-woman who never goes a morning without drinking a ‘moon dust’ detox shake (đồ uống thải độc), is actually riddled with imperfections?

The formal complaint from an anti-Trump “whistleblower” alleging (khẳng đinh) various crimes by President Donald Trump is riddled with third-hand gossip (tin đồn gián tiếp) and outright falsehoods (hoàn toàn giả dối).
