文法句型
emanate + noun phrase (light/heat/smell/substance)
用法筆記
Subject is the source that produces the emission — a lamp, a chimney, a flower, etc. The emitted thing is physical (light, heat, smell, smoke). Distinguish from sense 2: here the source is the grammatical subject (The lamp emanated a glow), while sense 2 inverts the relationship (A glow emanated from the lamp).
