"Go like clockwork" = Đều đặn như một cái máy -> Mọi việc vẫn đi theo đúng như kế hoạch và tiến bộ đều đặn mà không gặp phải rắc rối nào.
Ví dụ
To tidy up the human mess and not destroy the planet further with senseless wars requires a tyrant (bạo chúa, kẻ bạo ngược), an absolute ruler, with a plan that works like clockwork. You’ve never going to make it trying to influence those clowns in Washington.
My first miscarriage (sự sẩy thai) took me completely by surprise. My body had always worked like clockwork, and I'd assumed it would efficiently produce a healthy child. But then the technician explained to my husband and me at our first ultrasound (siêu âm) that while I had a gestational (thai nghén) sac, there was no embryo inside it. "Lights on, nobody home" is how I couldn't help thinking about it.
This happens like clockwork once every four years, to be fair. Who will be our celebrity presidential outreach in 2023? Will the Stranger Things kids still be a thing, or will a rush of puberty (dậy thì) have made them wonky (lung lay) and unlikable? Will JoJo Siwa still be about or will a younger, even more cheerful YouTuber have risen up and drunk the blood straight out of her veins? There are more famous children now than at any time in history. This paragraph could have gone on for ever.
