内行看门道,外行看热闹(Nèiháng kàn méndào, wàiháng kàn rènao)Dilettante watches the scene of bustle, adept guard the entrance

Explanation

这是一句常用的俗语。“内行”是指对某事或某物有丰富知识和经验的人,“外行”的人则相反。这句话是说,内行的人能看到事物的本质,而外行只是看表面现象。
This is a common saying in China. “内行” refers to people who are experts in certain fields and have rich knowledge and experience, while “外行” refers to the opposite ones. This saying means the experts see the nature of things, while the laymen can only see the superficial phenomena.
