Lookers-on see most of the game.
当局者迷,旁观者清。
In sports, those who are watching have a wider view of the game than the players and are, therefore, in a better position to tell what’s going on. In life, a third party who is not directly involved is in a better position to tell what’s going on in any human situation. As the saying goes, “Lookers-on see most of the game.”
在运动比赛中,观众要比运动员有更宽广的视野,因此,也更能看出比赛进展的情形。在生活中,第三者由于不是直接介入,所以也更能洞察任何人情世故中所发生的事情。俗话说:“当局者迷,旁观者清。”
