Possibly because of my profession, I have always... wanted a "ringside seat" at any history-making event. (A. Johnstone, ‘In the Name of Peace’, ch. VII) — Из-за своей профессии, вероятно, я всегда стремился... быть непосредственным свидетелем крупных исторических событий.

The whole scene wasn't quite real to Yates - a battle with ringside seats, with a policeman as usher walking from one side of the street to the other, keeping the curious out of the place. (S. Heym, ‘The Crusaders’, book II, ch. 5) — Вся картина показалась Иейтсу нереальной: словно он смотрит из первых рядов на арену, а вместо капельдинера полицейский ходит взад и вперед по улице, отгоняя любопытных.
