小知识
A whirl is a quick spin, and when something whirls, it rotates fast. You can also use it to mean “a try.” Hang-gliding? Snake-charming? “Sure,” you say. “I'll give it a whirl.”
Both whirl and spin are words that mean “turn in circles” but that have also come to mean trying something briefly––you might take a car for a spin or take a turn hiking in the Himalayas. All imply an attitude so free-wheeling, so easy, so devil-may-care that it might make your head spin. Or whirl.

动词辨析
whirl,spin这组词均为“迅速旋转”的意思。其区别是whirl转动的速度较大,回旋的范围较宽;spin通常是绕轴心转动。rotate,revolve,roll,spin,turn,whirl,circle
这些动词均有“转动、旋转”之意。rotate侧重指物体围绕自己的轴或中心旋转,即自转。revolve强调指物体围绕本身以外的中心旋转,即公转。roll指某物在平面上滚动或翻滚。spin指沿内轴迅速而连续旋转,或沿外部一个点作快速圆周运转。turn普通用词,中性,含义广泛,根据搭配,可指作一个圆周运动或连续地作圆周运动,也可指仅是沿圆的弧形转动。whirl指旋转或作圆周运动,侧重急速或力量。circle指作圆周运动。
