Things reek, stink and pong – but why are there no verbs for describing a delightful odour?
气味臭、难闻和刺鼻——但为什么没有动词来形容令人愉悦的气味？
‘Our language has plenty to suggest it stinks, it pongs, it reeks etc – but nothing to imply that the smell is nice.’

As my wisest Welsh friends have explained it to me, the verb in question, clywed, means to feel or to sense, as in sensing/feeling the smell or the sound of something. And also occasionally its touch or taste. So, every sense but sight. If sight was included, it would work perfectly for me in that bike shop, because I can see it all in HD.
