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.)

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 peep, to have a peep - "украдкой, быстро бросить взгляд, особенно через узкое и маленькое отверстие": the house seemed empty, but I peeped in through the window to see if anyone was there дом, казалось, был пуст, но я заглянул внутрь через окно, чтобы убедиться, что там никого нет; close your eyes, I have a surprise for you; no peeping! закрой глаза и не подсматривай, у меня для тебя сюрприз; she felt tempted to have a peep at her neighbours' garden у нее был большой соблазн украдкой заглянуть в сад соседей; the children could never attend their parents' parties, but they were allowed to peep through the door дети не имели права участвовать, когда у родителей были гости, но им разрешалось заглянуть в дверь.
    To stare - "смотреть, вглядываться во что-либо, смотреть долгое время не сводя глаз": don't stare at people, it is very rude нельзя, уставившись, смотреть на людей - это очень невежливо; as the fire destroyed the house we just stood and stared in disbelief пока огонь пожирал наш дом, мы просто стояли и не сводили с него глаз, не веря тому, что происходит; every night it is the same, staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep каждую ночь повторяется одно и то же, я лежу, устремив глаза в потолок, будучи не в состоянии заснуть.
    To gaze - "пристально, продолжительно разглядывать что-либо, не отводя взгляда, особенно потому, что объект вызывает гнев, раздражение или большой интерес, разглядывать, уставиться, устремить взгляд": they lay down and gazed at the clouds floating overhead они лежали и бездумно смотрели на проплывающие над ними облака; Amy gazed steadily at the singer unable to believe she was so close to him Эми пристально смотрела на певца, не веря, что он стоит рядом с ней; she sat and gazed into the distance lost in thought она сидела глубоко задумавшись, всматриваясь в даль; I could see from the difrection of his gaze that he was looking at my new car по направлению его пристального взгляда я понимал, что он разглядывал мою новую машину.
    To peer - "с трудом разглядывать что-либо, особенно, если вы не очень хорошо видите или если недостаточно света": Tom peered into the dark corridor to see what was making the noise Том всматривался в темный корридор, чтобы разглядеть откуда исходил шум; Jane peered at the writing under the picture Джейн старалась рассмотреть надпись под картиной.
    To scowl - "злобно смотреть на что-либо, кого-либо; недовольно хмуриться": he scowled and told John to get out он злобно/сердито нахмурился и выгнал Джона; "Oh, what do you want? " said the old man scowling "Что вам нужно? " - сердито спросил старик; James scowled at me furiously as I left the room, his whole body trembling with rage Джеймс, трясясь от бешенства, со злостью взглянул на меня, когда я выходил из комнаты.
    To glare - "сердито и долго, не отрывая глаз, смотреть на кого-либо, что-либо": she didn't say anything, but just sat there glaring at me она ничего не сказала, просто сидела и сердито смотрела на меня; she sat down and glared fiercely, knowing that the witness I had beaten her она села и свирепо посмотрела на свидетеля, зная, что это он побил ее; as soon as he heard this, he glared fiercely in our direction как только он это услышал, он свирепо посмотрел на нас

  • 128 Bentham, Sir Samuel

    SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping
    [br]
    b. 11 January 1757 England
    d. 31 May 1831 London, England
    [br]
    English naval architect and engineer.
    [br]
    He was the son of Jeremiah Bentham, a lawyer. His mother died when he was an infant and his early education was at Westminster. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a master shipwright at Woolwich and later at Chatham Dockyard, where he made some small improvements in the fittings of ships. In 1778 he completed his apprenticeship and sailed on the Bienfaisant on a summer cruise of the Channel Fleet where he suggested and supervised several improvements to the steering gear and gun fittings.
    Unable to find suitable employment at home, he sailed for Russia to study naval architecture and shipbuilding, arriving at St Petersburg in 1780, whence he travelled throughout Russia as far as the frontier of China, examining mines and methods of working metals. He settled in Kritchev in 1782 and there established a small shipyard with a motley work-force. In 1784 he was appointed to command a battalion. He set up a yard on the "Panopticon" principle, with all workshops radiating from his own central office. He increased the armament of his ships greatly by strengthening the hulls and fitting guns without recoil, which resulted in a great victory over the Turks at Liman in 1788. For this he was awarded the Cross of St George and promoted to Brigadier- General. Soon after, he was appointed to a command in Siberia, where he was responsible for opening up the resources of the country greatly by developing river navigation.
    In 1791 he returned to England, where he was at first involved in the development of the Panopticon for his brother as well as with several other patents. In 1795 he was asked to look into the mechanization of the naval dockyards, and for the next eighteen years he was involved in improving methods of naval construction and machinery. He was responsible for the invention of the steam dredger, the caisson method of enclosing the entrances to docks, and the development of non-recoil cannonades of large calibre.
    His intervention in the maladministration of the naval dockyards resulted in an enquiry that brought about the clearing-away of much corruption, making him very unpopular. As a result he was sent to St Petersburg to arrange for the building of a number of ships for the British navy, in which the Russians had no intention of co-operating. On his return to England after two years he was told that his office of Inspector-General of Navy Works had been abolished and he was appointed to the Navy Board; he had several disagreements with John Rennie and in 1812 was told that this office, too, had been abolished. He went to live in France, where he stayed for thirteen years, returning in 1827 to arrange for the publication of some of his papers.
    There is some doubt about his use of his title: there is no record of his having received a knighthood in England, but it was assumed that he was authorized to use the title, granted to him in Russia, after his presentation to the Tsar in 1809.
