посл.(the onlookers see more than players (тж. the onlookers see most of the game))со стороны виднее; см. тж. lookers-on see more than playersI've led him out by the hand; I have paraded him before you. Were my commonplace fears unjust? I won't say - not even now. You may be able to tell better, since the proverb has it that the onlookers see most of the game. (J. Conrad, ‘Lord Jim’, ch. 21) — Вот я вывел к вам Джима; посмотрите на него и скажите, справедливы ли были мои страхи. Я ведь человек простой и даже сейчас не знаю, прав ли я был. Быть может, вы рассудите лучше, недаром пословица говорит, что зрителям игра виднее.
