Сильный, пытливый разум, проницательный и всегда предельно целеустремлённый (Копелев 1). And I had taken quite a fancy to him [Solzhenitsyn].

(Гончаров 1). There was only one man he was fond of, and he, too, gave him no peace: a man interested in the latest news, in people, learning, and in life as a whole... (1b).♦ "...Она [княжна Болконская] мне очень нравится, она по сердцу мне..." (Толстой 7). "I like her [Princess Bolkonskaya] very much, I feel drawn to her..." (7a).♦ Можно болеть, можно всю жизнь делать работу не по душе, но нужно ощушать себя человеком (Трифонов 5)....A person can get sick, a person can spend his whole life working at something he doesn't really care for, but what is important is to feel himself a human being (5a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > по душе
