局外人 (jú wài rén) — outsider; person not involved in a particular situation, group, or event
Definition
A literal 'outsider' — someone who is not part of a group, situation, or event and so has no say in it. The examples lean on its feel of detachment: standing outside a circle or project, not directly involved.
