Like clockwork.

==> 사람 키 만큼 큰 것.

---------------------------------------------

I'm running a bit late for our meeting. I am sorry.

(그 모임에 좀 늦을 것 같네요.. 미안해요)

Will you be able to make it here in the next 20 minutes ?

(앞으로 20분 남았는 데 여기여 시간에 맞춰서 올 수 있겠어요?)

<sure: yes!, for sure: 당연하지, 그게 맞지>

for sure, You know these trains runs like clockwork.

(당연하지! 기차가 시간에 딱딱 맞춰서 오는 거 너도 알잖아.)

The project is going like clockwork.

(프로젝트가 원할하게 진행중이다.)

He gets up at the same time every day like clockwork.

---------------------------------------------

I'll probably be there before that.

refreshment : 다과, 간단한 음식

--------------------------------------------

And she would always ,about halfway through the game, come out.

(게임의 중반 쯤이 되면 그녀는 항상 오곤 했습니다.)

I am about halfway through the book.

(책 절반 쯤 읽었어) 

= I've finished the half of the book.

--------------------------------------------

We could always guarantee, rely on her that she'd come and give us refreshments.

refreshments: 간식(뭔가 마실 것이 있어야 한다.)

Can we rely on him to keep a secret?
