易错句子The swashes rushed over my feet.
正确表达The swash rushed over my feet.
表示“海浪破碎后涌上来的水”时，swash 是不可数名词，不能加 -es 变成复数 swashes；这里指涌上来的那片水，用单数 the swash 即可。swashes 属于其他可数义项（如装饰性长笔画）的复数形式，不能用于此义。

易错句子A huge swash broke over the surfer.
正确表达A huge wave broke over the surfer.
swash 指浪碎后涌上沙滩的水，并不是浪本身；句中描述拍向冲浪者并破碎的是“浪”，所以要用 wave。swash 不能与 break over 这样描述浪头破碎的动作搭配。
两者都可指声音：swish 是布料、鞭子或快速移动物体发出的轻柔“嗖/沙沙”声，通常不带水感；swash 则特指水冲刷岸面或表面的湿漉漉哗啦声。若声音来自水花，用 swash 更准确。
splash 多指物体入水或液体溅落时的一次性拍击声，常带“扑通/啪”的冲击感；swash 指水在岸边或表面来回冲刷的连续哗啦声，通常不是单次撞击。
slosh 强调液体在桶、瓶等容器内晃来晃去发出的声音；swash 强调水在开阔岸面或表面上冲刷、涌动的哗啦声。两者都可表示水声，但容器内晃荡通常用 slosh。
