English term or phrase: natural delicacy
Scene description:

Seorang pria menganggap penolakan cinta seorang wanita pada dirinya tidaklah sungguh-sungguh, dan sekedar merupakan 'natural delicacy' saja untuk membuatnya lebih mencintai wanita tersebut:

"I flatter myself, cousin, that your refusal is merely a natural delicacy. You simply seek to increase my love by suspense."


Apakah artinya natural delicacy di sini?

Thanks.

taktik halus


Explanation:
Maksud sebenarnya dari natural delicacy adalah 'tahan harga' atau 'jaga gengsi' atau 'jaim' istilah jaman sekarang.

Mungkin 'taktik halusmu saja' bisa?
