感叹下IOS的智慧，UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection定义用的是位移。
typedef enum {
    UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight = 1 << 0,
    UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft  = 1 << 1,
    UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp    = 1 << 2,
    UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionDown  = 1 << 3
} UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection;
