By means of the multifractal analysis (MFA), the expressions of the probability density functions (PDFs) are unified in a compact analytical formula which is valid for various quantities in turbulence. It is shown that the formula can explain precisely the experimentally observed PDFs both on log and linear scales. The PDF consists of two parts, i.e., the {\it tail} part and the {\it center} part. The structure of the tail part of the PDFs, determined mostly by the intermittency exponent, represents the intermittent large deviations that is a manifestation of the multifractal distribution of singularities in physical space due to the scale invariance of the Navier-Stokes equation for large Reynolds number. On the other hand, the structure of the center part represents small deviations violating the scale invariance due to thermal fluctuations and/or observation error.
