peer agreement (net): +2| vanity, thy name is woman! ای غرور/ خودپسندی/خودبینی، نام تو زن است Explanation: In the picture the woman is looking at the mirror, and I think that the quote is trying to say that women base their self worth on their appearance and care a lot about their external beauty. the following lines of the source provided by Simon : With heavy-lidded eyes she gazes at herself in the mirror, completely absorbed in her own image. Lady Lilith has eyes only for herself. Surrounded by a myriad of flowers, she sits and combs her luxurious copper hair. These lines also reveal the fact that she is absorbed in her own beautiful image in the mirror, though there are other beautiful things like those flowers. <Lady Lilith has eyes only for herself> also reveals this fact that she is egocentric, so it can be translated as خود بین or خود پسند. As a result the whole quote means that all women are egocentric and care about their appearance. I also suggest the following translation: مغروری/ خودپسندی/ خودبینی/ چرا که نامت زن است. |
