Fenwick: "...It's very difficult for people to be with me long without realising, that - well, that I'm not just the man in the street." (W. S. Maugham, ‘Our Betters’, act I) — Фенуик: "...Люди, с которыми мне приходится общаться, быстро обнаруживают, что я, ну как бы это сказать, человек не совсем заурядный."

Look here, my dear boy, these are problems for highly-trained experts, not for you and me and the man in the street. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part I, ch. VI) — Видишь ли, мой дорогой, это проблемы для высококвалифицированных экспертов, а не для нас с тобой и не для первого встречного.

If unemployment goes on rising, something will have to be done. This is not just the man in the street's opinion. Any politician who wants to remain in office knows it, too. (‘The Montreal Star’) — Безработица продолжает расти, и придется принять какие-то меры. Это отнюдь не обывательское суждение. Любой политический деятель, желающий остаться у власти, также знает это.
