divertir
entertain ; give + enjoyment.
Libraries are changing into activity centres, where one can keep warm, or leave one's child to be entertained, but where the shelves are half-empty.
Literary novels do not set out simply to entertain and give enjoyment; indeed they can be tremendously depressing.
divertirse
have + fun
amuse
derive + enjoyment
disport + Reflexivo
be merry
But for now, having fun and feeling famous will do quite well enough.
In the same way we can note when we are absorbed, when not, when we are amused or saddened, when a character specially interested us, when a passage of writing held our attention for its own sake, and so on.
The skill of the author lies in being able to tell the story in such a way that the reader will suspend disbelief and derive enjoyment from what is basically a simple story skilfully told.
In all three novels, a lovestricken swain believes that he is disporting himself with the handsome object of his affections, when actually he lies abed with the grotesquely ugly maidservant of his mistress.
Christmas is the time to be merry and it definitely gives us many reasons to celebrate with all our near and dear ones.
divertirse como nunca
have + a ball
have + the time of + Posesivo + life
live it up
have + a field day
We had a ball at the weekend event, especially while hanging out with friends such as Willis.
We had her out with 2 other dogs and she had the time of her life playing.
She's traveled the world, from helping orphans in Hawaii to living it up in Nepal.
We had a field day buying all sorts of nice things for her and came out with some very heavy bags.

We work hard, but have great fun in the process, and you will get great satisfaction seeing the results of your efforts.
We guarantee that you'll have good fun, and enjoy plenty of marvellous Irish traditional music.

hacerlo para divertirse
do it for + a lark
do it for + a laugh
I will admit that I've taken a stab at it on a few occasions, but I did it for a lark and lost money on the wager.
I did it for a laugh - I never expected my picture to be on the front pages of newspapers and magazines all over the world.
para divertirse
for kicks
These robbers carry out their vicious attacks for 'kicks' and street credibility rather than cash, a chilling study reveals.

sólo por divertirse
(just) for the fun of (doing) it
(just) for the hell of (doing) it
(just) for the sake of it
Last week, I decided to collect as many sarcastic and funny remarks as I could, just for the fun of it.
The article is entitled 'A Marshland index - or ìndexing for the hell of it'.
When they started to eff and blind just for the sake of it, I felt they lost the plot a bit.
trabajar duro y divertirse mucho
work hard, play hard
The whole work hard, play hard mantra unfortunately shows no sign of stopping even though it's quite frankly a marketing con.
