A penny for your thoughts
* (spoken) used to ask someone what they are thinking about when they are silent
Kate : A penny for your thoughts. 너 무슨 생각을 그렇게 하고 있니?
Tim : I was wondering if you'd say yes if I asked you out tonight
내가 오늘 밤 너에게 데이트하자고 하면 네가 좋다고 할지 생각하고 있었어.
Kate : I'd say yes, definitely. 물론 좋다고 할 거야.
Tim : Super! 좋아!
You must be going places!
* be going places = (informal) to start becoming successful in your life
* make it = (informal) to be successful in a particular activity or profession
Mom : What are you going to do when you grow up, honey? 얘야, 너 커서 뭐가 될래?
Son : I want to make it in politics. 난 정계에서 출세하고 싶어요.
Mom : When you go places, don't forget me. 너 출세하거들랑 이 애미를 잊지 마라.
Som : I won't. 잊지 않을게요.
eg) She is really going places as an actress. 그녀는 여배우로 정말 잘 나가고 있어.
eg) I never thought Ross would make it as a businessman.
로스가 사업가로서 성공할 줄은 정말 몰랐어.
If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times
Mom : Honey, you are late again. 얘야, 너 또 늦었구나.
Daughter : I'm sorry. 죄송해요.
Mom : Be home by eleven at the latest. If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times.
늦어도 11시까진 집에 들어와. 한번 말했으면 알아 들어야지.
How many times should I tell you? 몇 번이나 말해야 알아들을 거냐?
Daughter : OK. OK. 알았어요. 알았다구요.

Times have changed
Son : According to recent statistics, every third newly wed couple in Korea will eventually divorce.
최근 통계에 따르면 한국 신혼 부부 세쌍 중 한쌍은 결국 이혼한다네요.
Mom : Times have changed. When I was young, divorces were very rare.
세상 많이 달라졌구나. 내가 젊었을 때는 이혼이 아주 드물었는데.
in spades!
* (informal) to a much greater degree, or in a much greater amount, than you expected
* call a spade a spade = to say exactly what you think is true, without trying to be polite
Boss : You are fired! 넌 해고야!
Man : All right. Someday I'll make you pay for this, in spades!
좋아요. 언젠가 꼭 복수를 하고 말거요. 몇 배로!
Ross : What is your new department chief like? 새로운 부장이 어떤 사람이야?
Tim : He is no yes-man. He is a man who can call a spade a spade.
그는 무조건 복종하는 사람은 아니야. 그는 소신있게 말하는 사람이야.
Ross : So, you like him, I guess. 그래서, 너 그를 좋아하겠구나.
* yes-man = someone who always agrees with and obeys their employer, leader etc in order to gain some advantage
