"Scare up" nghĩa là tìm kiếm, nhặt nhạnh, thu lượm được một cách vất vả.

Ví dụ
The neighbor who gave me those gorgeous, golden-brown organic (hữu cơ) eggs said just to “pay it forward.” Still, I left $1.85 in loose change — all I could scare up without leaving my house — in return for her precious gift (món quà quý giá).

A vascular surgeon (bác sĩ phẫu thuật mạch máu) I talked to suggested that hospitals might even scare up obsolete (lỗi thời) Bird Mark 7 and Mark 8 ventilators (máy thở y tế), primitive models (mô hình thô xơ) that had no monitors and ran on compressed air (khí nén) and oxygen.

One-by-one and two-by-two they bade each other goodbye (nói lời từ biệt) as they found alternate means (phương tiện thay thế) of getting out of our town, the final departurers (khởi hành) a group of four, unknown to each other a week before but now fast friends who were able to scare up a rental car (xe thuê) and left for what would be a cross-country trip for the final driver of the car.
