Explanation:

A latin „tertius gaudens” angol változatai:
the third who benefits, the third who rejoices, the third who profits, stb.
A „laughing third party” is gyakran előfordul.
Széles a választék – el kell döntened, melyik illik a legjobban a szövegedbe. A latin „tertius gaudens” is elég jól ismert.

Köszönöm, ez a "tertius gaudens" nekem új volt. Én már jóformán csak arra a latin kifejezésre emlékszem a gimnáziumban tanultakból, hogy "gaudeamus igitur". :-)

Explanation:
The other translations are good but I can't stop myself from proposing this. C.f. Der Lachende Dritte, German movie translated to have the international English title as above, while in the US: The Laughing Third Party
