"Go through a lean patch" có từ lean là đói kém, mất mùa, patch là mảnh thừa, mảnh vụn-> cụm từ này nghĩa là trải qua hoặc ở trong thời điểm thất bại, suy tàn hoặc thành tích/kết quả kém, không như mong đợi.

Ví dụ
Sure, any player can go through a lean patch, but when it happens season after season and a player keeps getting picked for astronomical (to lớn) sums, one is forced to wonder whether there is some quid pro quo (có đi có lại, ăn miếng trả miếng) somewhere.

In absence (vắng mặt) of proper domestic (nội địa) cricket, either one-day or two-day, Kushal rather went on to go through a lean patch with string of low scores in the Twenty20 leagues. Another batch of U-19 cricketers came and his wait even prolonged when he continued to watch new boys Rohit Kumar Paudel, Pawan Sarraf, Sundeep Jora and Bhim Sharki breaking into the national fold.

However, success did not come the easy way for Mayank, who had to go through a lean patch in his career in the 2014/15 season, when he was dropped from the Karnataka team. That proved (chứng tỏ) to be his wake-up call as he worked extremely hard on his fitness to get back into the team and has since gone from strength to strength.
