hindsight 20/20
直訳すると「振り向いて見れば視力は20/20になる」
“20/20” は 視力検査でのスコアのことで、メガネなどでの矯正を必要としない視力を意味する
つまり、“hindsight is 20/20” は「振り返って見れば物事が良く見える」という意味で、つまり「物事が起きた後から見れば、過去の判断が正しかったか間違いだったかを言うのは簡単だが、逆に未来を予想するのは難しい」という意味
「あの時こうしてればなぁ」と過去を後悔している人に対して使うような表現で、「未来はだれにもわからないのだから、過去のことを今さら悔やんでもしょうがないよ」のような意味合いになる。後悔先に立たず、後の祭り
