peer agreement (net): +1watch from the sidelines Explanation: http://www.dicionariodegirias.com.br/giria.do?giria=344 Assistir de camarote Ficar de fora de um problema, confusão ou briga. Não dar opinião, não participar. Ex1: Assisti toda a confusão de camarote, mas bem que me deu medo. http://www.yourdictionary.com/sideline sideline Idioms on the sidelines ☆ in the area along the sidelines outside the main sphere of action not actively participating http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="watch from the sidelin... about 54,500 hits in Google for "watch from the sidelines" I realize there's no direct equivalent of this Brazilian expression, but this is something close to it, and since your text is about sports I think it fits perfectly - although this is not just a sports idiom, it uses the sport analogy (sidelines) hope this helps :) |
