USAGE:

(1.) Глагол to look в значении "выглядеть как-либо, иметь какой-либо вид" 2. употребляется с последующим прилагательным: to look ill (young, happy). B сочетании хорошо выглядеть (о внешности) глагол to look употребляется с прилагательным well: she looks well она выглядит хорошо/у нее здоровый вид. Сочетание to look good обозначает быть на вид хорошего качества: the meat looks good мясо на вид свежее/хорошее/неиспорченное. (2.) Русское предложение Как он выглядит? имеет разные английские соответствия: в случае, если имеется в виду человек незнакомый (и предложение соответственно обозначает Каков он из себя?), то употребляется What does he look like? B том случае, если человек знакомый (и предложение обозначает Как он себя чувствует?), эта фраза соответствует How does he look? (3.) Выражение to look like smth соответствует русскому похоже: it looks like rain (snow, storm) похоже, что будет дождь (снег, гроза).

WAYS OF DOING THINGS:

Глагол to look даёт общее, нейтральное название действия "смотрения", не конкретизируя его характера. Характер этого действия находит выражение в ряде других глаголов, таких как to glance и to give a glance, to gaze, to stare, to gape, to glimpse, to scowl, to squint.

To squint - "посмотреть искоса, пристально, прищурившись; смотреть на что-либо, кого-либо, чтобы лучше разглядеть": she squinted at the paper but it was imposible to read what was written there она прищурившись посмотрела на документ, но прочитать то, что там было написано было невозможно; squinting through the frosted glass window I could just make out my sister's car in the distance вглядываясь через замёрзшее стекло окна, я мог только рассмотреть вдали машину моей сестры.

To glance, to give a glance - "бросить беглый взгляд; посмотреть бегло, скользя глазами вверх и вниз": during the meal he kept glancing at the door, obviously expecting someone to walk in за едой он всё время посматривал на дверь, явно ожидая, что кто-то войдёт; I saw them glancing at each other as if they knew something I did not я видел, как они бросали друг другу быстрые взгляды, как будто знали что-то, чего я не знал; glancing into the kitchen she realized no one was home заглянув в кухню, она поняла, что никого дома не было; Greg glanced sideways at his friend, trying to catch his eye Грэг искоса взглянул на друга, стараясь поймать его взгляд; a glance at my watch told one it was nearly five o'clock взглянув на часы, я увидел, что было уже пять часов.

To shoot/cast/throw a glance - "бросить быстрый взгляд, посмотреть вверх и вниз": she shot a quick glance over her shoulder to see who was following her она быстро взглянула через плечо, чтобы увидеть, кто за ней шел; she cast a glance around the room, taking in her surrounding она быстро окинула комнату взглядом, чтобы понять, кто её окружает.

ⓘ GOOD FRIDAY En Grande-Bretagne, il est traditionnel, le jour du vendredi saint, de manger des "hot cross buns" (petits pains ronds aux fruits secs, marqués d'une croix).

ⓘ THE GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT Le processus de paix en Irlande du Nord, qui a été amorcé par les cessez-le-feu des groupes paramilitaires républicains et unionistes en 1994, a abouti au "Good Friday Agreement", l'accord de paix signé à Belfast en avril 1998. Cet accord, parrainé par les Premiers ministres britannique et irlandais, et finalement approuvé par le Sinn Féin et par la plupart des partis unionistes, a mis en place la "Northern Ireland Assembly", un parlement quasi autonome avec un partage démocratique du pouvoir entre les communautés protestante et catholique. Cet accord est une étape vers la fin de trente ans de guerre civile en Ulster.

ⓘ You've never had it so good Ce slogan a été utilisé pour la première fois aux États-Unis en 1952 par les Démocrates. Il signifie "vous êtes aujourd'hui plus prospères que jamais". En Grande-Bretagne, ce slogan est associé au Premier ministre conservateur Harold Macmillan qui l'utilisa dans un discours en 1957. Aujourd'hui, on utilise cette formule sur le mode ironique lorsqu'une situation n'encourage pas du tout à l'optimisme.
