Verb
"Gustar" better avoided ► While gustar is one of the main ways of translating like, its use is not always appropriate. Used to refer to people, it may imply sexual attraction. Instead, use expressions like caer bien or parecer/ resultar simpático/ agradable. These expressions work like gustar and need an indirect object:
I like Francis very much Francis me cae muy bien or me parece muy simpático or agradable
She likes me, but that's all (A ella) le caigo bien, pero nada más
Like + verb ► Translate to like doing sth and to like to do sth using gustar + ((infinitive)):
Doctors don't like having to go out to visit patients at night A los médicos no les gusta tener que salir a visitar pacientes por la noche
My brother likes to rest after lunch A mi hermano le gusta descansar después de comer ► Translate to like sb doing sth and to like sb to do sth using gustar + que + ((subjunctive)):
My wife likes me to do the shopping A mi mujer le gusta que haga la compra
I don't like Irene living so far away No me gusta que Irene viva tan lejos
"How do you like...?" ► Use qué + parecer to translate how do/ did you like when asking someone's opinion:
How do you like this coat? ¿Qué te parece este abrigo?
How did you like the concert? ¿Qué te ha parecido el concierto? ► But use cómo + gustar when using how do you like more literally:
How do you like your steak? ¿Cómo le gusta la carne?
Would like ► When translating would like, use querer with requests and offers and gustar to talk about preferences and wishes:
Would you like a glass of water? ¿Quiere un vaso de agua?
What would you like me to do about the tickets? ¿Qué quieres que haga respecto a los billetes?
I'd very much like to go to Spain this summer Me gustaría mucho ir a España este verano Literal translations of I'd like are better avoided when making requests in shops and restaurants. Use expressions like the following:
I'd like steak and chips ¿Me pone un filete con patatas fritas?, (Yo) quiero un filete con patatas fritas For further uses and examples, see main entry

•

USAGE:

(1.) Глагол to like относится к группе глаголов, после которых обязательно прямое дополнение. Глагол to like употребляется в конструкциях to like smb, smth; to like to do smth и to like doing smth Когда в предложении содержательно нет прямого дополнения, его место замещает местоимение it. Таким образом, русские предложения, включающие обстоятельства времени и места, не имеющие прямого дополнения, типа Вам нравится? соответствуют в английском языке конструкции типа to like it somewhere, где it занимает место дополнения: He likes it here very much. Ему здесь очень нравится. В эту группу входят также глаголы to dislike, to love, to hate, to repeat to discuss. (2.) Оборот would like используется для оформления вежливой просьбы, предложения что-либо сделать: Would you like another cup of tea? He хотите ли еще чашку чая? (3.) See want, v, USAGE (2.). (4.) See hate, v (5.) See fond, adj
II [laɪk] prp
так (же), как кто-либо, что-либо; подобно кому-либо, чему-либо

What is he like? — Что он собой представляет? /Что он за человек? /Как он выглядит?

What is the weather like there? — Какая там погода?

It is not like him to be late. — Опаздывать - это на него не похоже.

The portrait is not like her. — В портрете мало сходства с ней.

- people like that
- smth like this
- write like this
- be like smb, smth
- be like smb in appearance
- look very much like smb, smth
- they are all like that
- do it like that
USAGE:

(1.) Русское так (же), как при выражении подобия соответствует предлогу like и союзу as. Союз as вводит придаточное предложение: they lived as all other people did. Предлог подобия like употребляется с существительными и местоимениями: the lake was like a bright mirror озеро блестело, как зеркало; it was not like him это было на него не похоже. Предлог like особенно часто используется, когда сравниваемый объект или процесс не является тем, с чем он сравнивается: they worked like slaves; she sings like a bird. (2.) Русским словосочетаниям быть похожим, походить на кого-либо соответствует английское to be like smb: he is very much like his mother он очень похож на мать. Русское словосочетание "быть похожим друг на друга" передается сочетанием глагола to be с прилагательным alike: they are very much alike они очень похожи друг на друга. (3.) Русское словосочетание "похоже, что будет дождь (снег)" передается сочетанием с глаголом to look: it looks like rain похоже, будет дождь. (4.) Выражение feel like doing smth соответствует русскому "быть в настроении (хотеть) что-либо делать": I don't feel like joking мне не до шуток

I v 1. любить, нравиться: to like smb, smth — любить кого-либо, что-либо; to like to do (doing) smth — любить делать что-либо; 2. хотеть, желать (1). Глагол to like относится к группе глаголов, после которых обязательно прямое дополнение. Он употребляется в конструкциях to like smb, smth; to like to do smth и to like doing smth. Когда в предложении содержательно нет прямого дополнения, его место замещает местоимение it. Таким образом, русские предложения, включающие обстоятельства времени и места, не имеющие прямого дополнения, типа Вам нравится? соответствуют в английском языке конструкции типа to like it somewhere, где it занимает место дополнения:
He likes it here very much — Ему здесь очень нравится.
В эту группу входят также глаголы to dislike, to love, to hate, to repeat, to discuss. (2). Оборот would like используется для оформления вежливой просьбы, предложения что-либо сделать:
Would you like another cup of tea? — Не хотите ли еще чашку чая?
(3). See want, v (2). (4). See hate, v. (5). See fond, a. II prp так (же), как кто-либо, что-либо, подобно кому-либо, чему-либо: to be like smb, smth — походить, быть похожим на кого-либо, что-либо (1). Русское так (же), как при выражении подобия соответствует предлогу like и союзу as. Союз as вводит придаточное предложение: They lived as all other people did. Предлог подобия like употребляется с существительными, местоимениями:
He like his wife hates cats — Он, как и его жена, ненавидит кошек.

The lake was like a bright mirror — Озеро блестело как зеркало.

He needs a holiday like all other people — Он нуждается в отпуске, как и все.

It was not like him — Это было на него не похоже.

What is the weather like? — Какая погода?

At a time like this — В такое время.
Предлог like особенно часто используется, когда сравниваемый объект или процесс не является тем, с чем он сравнивается:
They worked like slaves.

She sings like a bird.
(2). Русским быть похожим, походить на кого-либо соответствует английское to be like smb:
He is very much like his mother — Он очень похож на мать.
Русское быть похожим друг на друга передается сочетанием глагола to be с прилагательным alike:
They are very much alike — Они очень похожи друг на друга.
(3). Русское похоже, что будет дождь (снег) передается сочетанием с глаголом to look:
It looks like rain — Похоже, будет дождь.
(4). Выражение feel like doing smth соответствует русскому быть в настроении (хотеть) что-либо делать:
I don't feel like joking. — Мне не до шуток.

ASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY:

Людей, особенно когда они ведут себя недостойно, часто сравнивают с животными: The soldiers were all drunk, and they behaved like animals. Пьяные солдаты вели себя по-скотски. You greedy pig! Ты жадная свинья! That little rat has been spying on us. Этот крысеныш шпионил за нами все это время. It's time to take action against these sharks who prey on the poor. Пора принять меры по отношению к этим акулам, которые живут за счет бедняков. The press were gathering outside her house like vultures. Журналисты, подобно коршунам, чующим поживу, кружат вокруг ее дома. You dirty dog! Ты грязный пес! His wife was a mousy little woman. Его жена была маленькой серой мышкой. You little monkey, have you been playing with my stuff again? Послушай, проказник/мартышка, ты опять трогал мои вещи? You silly goose. Ты глупая трусливая гусыня. /Ты трус и глупец. She is a very original writer, and has never been one to follow the herd. Она весьма оригинальный автор, из тех, кто никогда не идет на поводу у толпы. Most people are like sheep - they just do what everyone else does. Люди подобны баранам, они всегда следуют за толпой. /Люди как овцы - ими руководит стадное чувство. He described his opponents as dinosaurs, out of touch with present day reality. Он отзывался о своих оппонентах как о динозаврах/мастодонтах, живущих в прошлом (отставшим от жизни). He seems tough, but he's a pussycat when you get to know him. Он только кажется неприступным, но если с ним познакомиться поближе, то он окажется совсем ручным (мягким как котёнок).
