你有聽過 “My head is swimming.” 嗎？千萬要記住絕對不是「我的頭在游泳」的意思！swim作動詞雖有「游泳」之意，不過也可表示「頭暈、暈眩」，此時意思也相當於 spin，所以當某人感到頭昏腦脹時，便可以說 “My head is swimming.”（我頭暈。）

swim vi.（頭）發暈，暈眩（= spin）

例：After I drank five glasses of wine, my head was swimming.
   = After I drank five glasses of wine, my head was spinning.
             喝了五杯紅酒後，我感覺我頭暈了。

make sb’s head swim　　使某人頭暈（= make sb’s head spin）

例：Looking at this complicated math formula makes my head swim.
   = Looking at this complicated math formula makes my head spin.
            看著這個複雜的數學公式使我頭暈。
