Indonesian translation:harga diri

Explanation:
Kebetulan saya menemukan penjelasan singkat tentang dialog ini:

Why are you so sensitive about your age? ::
The hard knocks that my vanity has been given.
“Hard knocks” are experiences that have hurt, both physical and emotional, such as insults from other people. A person’s “vanity” is their pride, or their belief that they are prettier or better than they really are.

Jadi kurang lebih terjemahannya begini:
-Mengapa kau sangat sensitif tentang usiamu?
-Karena kerasnya kehidupan yang menghantam harga diriku.

perasaan kurang berharga

Explanation:
Salah satu arti 'vanity' adalah 'lack of usefulness, worth, or effect; worthlessness.'

Sehingga perasaan kurang berharga dan perasaan menolak nasib itu begitu besarnya, sepanjang yang saaya tangkap dari pembicaraan empat mata selama kurang lebih 1 jam khusus dengan beliau.

Perasaan kurang berharga bisa membuat kita tidak dapat mencintai dengan tulus.

Rasa kurang atau rasa rendah diri yang timbul karena perasaan kurang berharga atau kurang mampu dalam bidang penghidupan apa saja.

takabur

Explanation:
"Because of hard knocks my vanity has been given." Ini merupakan kutipan dari film 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. Konteksnya, si perempuan yg mengucapkan kalimat tsb enggan memberi tahu usianya kepada laki2 karena tahu laki2 tidak tertarik kpd perempuan yg usianya di atas kepala tiga.

Awalnya saya mau menjawab 'jemawa' atau 'megah' (definisi #2 KBBI 3), atau mungkin 'kemayu' atau 'ganjen'.

Akan tetapi, padanan2 tsb kurang menangkap arti kata 'vanity' sebagaimana didefinisikan dl COD ('excessive pride in or admiration of one’s own appearance or achievements'). Yang lebih sesuai menurut saya adalah 'takabur' (merasa diri mulia [hebat, pandai, dsb]; angkuh; sombong -- KBBI 3).

Jadi, kalimatnya mungkin bisa diterjemahkan menjadi: "Tamparan telak dalam hidupku telah membuatku takabur".

Kamus Pak Stevens memberikan padanan 'gurur' utk 'vanity':
gu·rur Ar ark n impian yg sia-sia; harapan pd sesuatu yg tidak ada; pikiran yg bukan-bukan.

Untuk 'vain', kamus yg sama memberikan sejumlah padanan, tetapi yg paling menarik ialah 'konyol', yg dl konteks film ini, menurut definisi KBBI 3, bisa berarti: (2) agak gila; kurang akal; (3) tidak berguna; sia-sia.

Alternatif penerjemahan: "Tamparan hidup telah membuahkan ketakaburan padaku."
'Tamparan hidup' mewakili 'hard knocks' dan 'telah membuahkan' mewakili bagian 'has been given'.
