One useful picture: something pushes against you with more force than you have, so you stop being able to hold it off. A smell does it to your nose, a wish does it to your thinking, a big character does it to the room. In every case the question is not how strong the thing is on its own, but whether you can still stand against it. When you cannot, English reaches for this word.
可以想成有個東西正在推你,而它的力氣比你大,所以你擋不住了。氣味用這股力氣壓過你的鼻子。渴望壓過你的思考。一個人的氣場則壓過整個空間裡其他人的聲音。重點不在那樣東西本身多強,而在你還撐不撐得住。撐不住的時候,英文就會拿出這個字。
