If a feeling, idea, or smell pervades a place, it is present in every part of it. You cannot point to one corner and say it lives only there. Cooking smells can pervade a house; worry can pervade a class before a big test; an idea can pervade a whole town. The word is a little formal. We use it more for things that spread through the air or through people’s minds than for a person walking into a room.
瀰漫、遍布（氣味、氣氛、想法充塞整個地方）
組成A learned borrowing from Latin pervādō, “to go through.” In that Latin verb, per is “through” and vādō is “go” or “walk.”
