Impervious operates in both physical and figurative senses. Physically, an impervious surface does not allow water to penetrate. Figuratively — and more commonly — it describes a person who is unaffected by criticism, persuasion, or emotional appeal. Common collocations include 'impervious to criticism,' 'impervious to charm,' 'impervious to water,' and 'seemingly impervious.'

'impervious'在物理和比喻意义上均可使用。物理上，不透水的表面不允许水渗透。比喻意义上——也是更常见的用法——描述一个人不受批评、劝说或情感诉求影响的状态。常见搭配包括'impervious to criticism'（不受批评影响）、'impervious to charm'（不为魅力所动）、'impervious to water'（防水的）和'seemingly impervious'（看似不为所动的）。

Impervious funciona tanto en sentido físico como figurado. Físicamente, una superficie impermeable no deja pasar el agua. En sentido figurado —y más habitual—, describe a una persona que no se ve afectada por la crítica, la persuasión o el atractivo emocional. Las colocaciones habituales incluyen 'impervious to criticism', 'impervious to charm', 'impervious to water' y 'seemingly impervious'.

「impervious」は物理的にも比喩的にも使われる。物理的には、impervious な表面は水を通さない。比喩的には（こちらがより一般的な用法であるが）、批判、説得、感情的訴えに影響されない人を表す。よく使われる組み合わせには「impervious to criticism」（批判に動じない）、「impervious to charm」（魅力に惑わされない）、「impervious to water」（水を通さない）、「seemingly impervious」（一見動じないように見える）がある。

impervious는 물리적 의미와 비유적 의미 모두에서 사용된다. 물리적으로 impervious한 표면은 물의 침투를 허용하지 않는다. 비유적으로는—그리고 더 흔하게—비판, 설득, 또는 감정적 호소에 영향받지 않는 사람을 묘사한다. 흔한 연어로는 'impervious to criticism(비판에 동요하지 않는)', 'impervious to charm(매력에 동요하지 않는)', 'impervious to water(방수의)', 'seemingly impervious(동요하지 않는 듯한)'가 있다.
