Penetrating describes something that goes deep into or through something else. It's used for physical things — a penetrating cold, a penetrating smell that gets into everything — and for a person's mind or way of looking at things: a penetrating question or a penetrating look is one that seems to see straight through to the real truth of a matter, sharp and hard to hide anything from.
刺骨的、穿透性的；（目光、問題）敏銳、一針見血的
