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

20 like nothing on earth

разг.

ни на что не похоже, ужасно, отвратительно

...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!
