Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：非正式交谈、酒桌或聚会场景 该词多用于口语，表示大口喝，尤其指酒，语气比较随意。正式场合或书面语中一般不用，更常用drink。使用时需注意语境，以免显得粗俗。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Will, bill, fill, hill, kill, and pill all rhyme with swill (/swɪl/), because their stressed vowel and final consonant match the /ɪl/ ending. Be careful with sight lookalikes that start with sw- such as swim (/swɪm/), swing (/swɪŋ/), and swish (/swɪʃ/): they have different endings and do not rhyme with swill.
