3 the proof of the pudding is in the eating
посл."чтобы судить о пудинге, надо его отведать", всё проверяется на практике, обо всём судят по результатамThe proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of majority will is in the stubbornness with which the people prosecute that bitterest of all wars - a revolutionary war. (G. Marion, ‘The Communist Trial’, ch. 16) — Чтобы судить о пудинге, надо его отведать; так и о воле большинства нужно судить по тому, с каким упорством народ ведет самую ожесточенную из войн - войну революционную.
I think I can tell a good story and I can create characters that ring true. And after all the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The Eye of the Needle sold thirty-five thousand in England and eighty thousand in America... (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. I) — Я полагаю, что могу рассказать интересную историю и создать правдивые характеры. Но судят-то по результатам, а "Игольное ушко" разошлось в Англии в количестве тридцати пяти тысяч экземпляров, и в Америке было продано восемьдесят тысяч.

Singular or plural verb?
When m ayoría is the subject of a verb, the verb can be in the singular or the plural, depending on the context. ► When translating maj ority rather than most, put the verb in the singular if majority is seen as a unit rather than a collection of individuals:
The socialist majority voted against the four amendments La mayoría socialista votó en contra de las cuatro enmiendas ► If la mayoría is seen as a collection of individuals, particularly when it is followed by de + ((plural noun)), the plural form of the verb is more common than the singular, though both are possible:
The majority still wear this uniform La mayoría siguen vistiendo or sigue vistiendo este uniforme
Most scientists believe it is a mistake La mayoría de los científicos creen or cree que se trata de un error ► The plural form must be used when la mayoría or la mayoría de + ((plural noun)) is followed by ser or estar + ((plural complement)):
Most of them are men La mayoría son hombres
Most of the dead were students La mayoría de los muertos eran estudiantes
Most of the children were black La mayoría de los niños eran negros For further uses and examples, see majority, most* * *[mə'dʒɔːrəti, mə'dʒɒrəti]1)a) ( greater number) (+ sing o pl vb) mayoría fto be in the majority — ser* mayoría
