易错句子The arrow whized past my ear.
正确表达The arrow whizzed past my ear.
whiz 是重读闭音节(辅音+元音+辅音),加 -ed 前要双写词尾的 z,再加 -ed,因此过去式是 whizzed,不是 whized。

易错句子The stone whizzed my head.
正确表达The stone whizzed past my head.
whiz 表示“嗖地掠过”时是不及物动词,不能直接跟宾语;表示从某物旁边掠过要用 whiz past/by + 名词。汉语“掠过我的头”容易直译成动宾结构而漏掉介词 past。
swish 多指物体挥动、摆动或快速掠过时带出的较宽“唰唰”摩擦声,声音常伴随可见的动作;whiz 的嗖嗖声更细、更短促,像小东西快速划破空气。两者都可表示快速移动,但描写挥动类动作时通常用 swish。
swoosh 形容大而快的掠过声,常与水、气流或较大物体有关,声音浑厚;whiz 的声音轻而尖细,物体通常小而快。写水冲下管道之类用 swoosh 更自然。
hiss 是持续的气流摩擦声,声源多为漏气、蒸汽或蛇;whiz 是一次次短促的嗖嗖声,强调快速移动。持续不断的气声选 hiss,快速掠过的声音选 whiz。
