Suchlike means 'and other things of that same kind'. You use it at the end of a list, when you have given a few examples and do not want to list everything. 'Bring a pen, paper, and suchlike.' It works two ways. As a pronoun it stands alone, usually after 'and': 'nails, screws and suchlike'. As an adjective it goes before a noun: 'nails, screws and suchlike hardware'. The pronoun use is far more common today. In feeling, suchlike is old-fashioned and rather British. Older people use it, and you meet it in older books. Younger people and Americans are more likely to say 'and stuff like that', 'and things like that', 'and so on', or 'etc.' — those all do the same job. There is also a small flavour to it: it often suggests the writer thinks the remaining items are not very important, or is a bit of them. 'He talks about crystals, healing energy and suchlike' hints that the speaker does not take these seriously. Not always, but often enough that you should hear it.
諸如此類、之類的(放在列舉後面)。書面或長輩口吻;日常台灣學生英文講 and so on 或 and stuff like that 就好。
