In English if you're talking about things and you refer to them as being few and far

En inglés, si estás hablando de cosas y te refieres a ellas como pocas y distantes

between it means that there aren't very many of them.

Maybe in your city good restaurants are few and far between.

Tal vez en tu ciudad los buenos restaurantes son pocos y distantes entre sí.

That would mean that your city doesn't have a lot of good restaurants.

Eso significaría que tu ciudad no tiene muchos buenos restaurantes.

Maybe in your city restaurants that make good food and charge a reasonable amount of money

Tal vez en tu ciudad los restaurantes que hacen buena comida y cobran una cantidad razonable de dinero

are few and far between.

son pocos y distantes entre sí.

Again, that would mean that there aren't very many of them.

Nuevamente, eso significaría que no hay muchos de ellos.

Some people say that honest people are few and far between in this world and I hope that

Algunas personas dicen que las personas honestas son pocas y distantes entre sí en este mundo y espero que

that's not true.

eso no sea cierto.

I hope that there are a lot of honest people in this world and I hope that dishonest people

Espero que haya muchas personas honestas en este mundo y espero que las personas deshonestas

are actually few and far between.

sean pocas y distantes entre sí.

So, again, if you are referring to things that are few and far between it means that

no hay muchas de ellas.

There's a few other words that you can use to talk about this.

say that they are rare, that would also mean that there are not very many of them.

decir que son raros, eso también significaría que no hay muchos de ellos.

Or you could say that restaurants that make good food and charge a reasonable amount of

O podrías decir que los restaurantes que hacen buena comida y cobran una cantidad razonable de

money are uncommon in my city.

So all of these words, scarce, rare, and uncommon mean the same thing as few and far between.

I hope that honest people in your country aren't uncommon.
