"Scratch (someone/something) together" nghĩa là tìm ra và tập hợp, thu thập, thu về (ai/cái gì) từ những nguồn hoặc địa điểm khác nhau.

Ví dụ
Formed in 2009 after meeting at the University in York, the group was conceived as a busking band (nhóm nhạc đường phố) to temper the savage realities of adult life and scratch together some extra pocket money.

Cameron eventually won over Schwarzenegger, and landed his funding, a meager $6 million from the now-defunct Hemdale Film Corporation. “They had to kind of scratch together another $500,000 because they ran out of (hết) money,” Schwarzenegger tells me.

There are roughly 170 initiatives under way around the world to develop electric aircraft, many of them vertical takeoff and landing vehicles intended to enable city dwellers (cư dân đường phố) to escape the morass (mớ rối rắm) of snarled traffic below. It’s been relatively (tương đối) easy for many of these ventures to scratch together a few million to come up with a concept and perhaps an initial prototype.
