Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us.

  • -- Jane Austen 简·奥斯汀

虚荣和骄傲是两码事,尽管这两个词经常被用作同义词。一个人可以骄傲而不虚荣。骄傲更多地与我们对自己的看法有关;虚荣心,我们希望别人怎么看我们。
