"Neither feast nor famine" nghĩa là gì?


"Neither feast nor famine" = không yến tiệc mà cũng không đói kém -> nghĩa là không dư thừa mà cũng không khan hiếm, vừa đủ dùng.

Ví dụ
And as far as the ICSG is concerned, refined (nguyên chất) copper is in neither feast nor famine. Rather, supply and usage are expected to be broadly balanced (cân bằng) both this year and next.

It's neither feast nor famine with cost-cutting (cắt giảm giá) plan still to bear fruit. OFTEN when companies ply journalists with food (bón cho ăn) it's because they hope we'll be so busy scoffing (chế giễu) the goods we won't notice the bad news buried deep in smoothly polished press releases. So when FBD laid on pancakes, fruit and Lenten-banned treats of sweets and chocolate at their full-year results briefing yesterday morning, the red flags immediately went up.

Short thread: Recall despite the Asian Financial Crisis in 1990s and global economic recession in 2008, Singapore persisted with its defense programmes. Pandemic and its economic uncertainty now puts this "neither feast nor famine" policy in question.
