14 like nothing on earth

разг.

...Machiavelli... was feeling like nothing on earth and his voice was a croak. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XXXVI) —...Макиавелли... чувствовал себя ужасно. Он совершенно охрип.

‘And if this pudding tastes like nothing on earth,’ cried Mrs. Smeeth, rushing it in to the table, ‘Don't blame me, blame Mrs. Newark at number twenty-three. She came charging in, like a fire brigade, just as I was in the middle of mixing it, and shrieked at me - you know what a voice she has?..’ (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. 11) — - Если этот пудинг никуда не годится, - воскликнула миссис Смит, влетая с пудингом и с размаху ставя его на стол, - так вините не меня, а миссис Ньюарк из дома двадцать три. Как раз когда я замешивала его, она ворвалась в кухню, словно пожарная команда, да как заорет - знаете ее голосок...

If I don't want to see you, why don't you go away and stop away? I don't want you hanging about me and coming slinking in here, looking like nothing on earth. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. X) — Я вас знать не хочу! А вы все вертитесь тут, лезете ко мне. Оставьте меня в покое, наконец. Не смейте больше появляться здесь, да еще в таком невозможном виде.

...I must say I don't like the look of him these days. He slouches about, looking like nothing on earth. What's the matter with him? (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. IX) —...должен сказать, не нравится мне Тарджис в последнее время. Бродит как тень, сам на себя не похож. Что с ним случилось?

Boys that talk like girls. Girls that talk like nothing on earth. That's what you get now. No good. No place for a real man. Give me the desert (J. B. Priestley, ‘Wonder Hero’, ch. V) — Юноши, которые рассуждают как девушки, девушки, которые говорят бог знает что, - вот до чего мы докатились. Это просто ужасно. Настоящему мужчине здесь нет места. Уж лучше в пустыню!
