caperucita_foka под постом * alone - lonely. разница: Вот очень люблю за это английский:) В русском нет таких разных понятий. Слово "одинокий" - грустное и лузерское, все сразу лезут с сочувствиями(. А я лично именно Alone - и наслаждаюсь этим!.. Думаю, тут в целом имеет место совсем другой подход к личности человека. Обратите внимание, как трудно бывает перевести слово "privacy". Не только слово, но и явление отсутствуют напрочь в нашей ментальности, которая больше азиатская, чем европейская. "Приватность", "личное пространство" - совсем новые понятия, которые лишь несколько лет назад появились в лексиконе бывших советских людей.
кстати, слово LIKELY никак не связано с LIKE. ниже его толкование плюс CROWD.

to watch or listen to something interesting, or to protest about something.
