A long sea implies an uniform and steady motion of long and extensive waves; on the contrary, a short sea is when they run irregularly, broken, and interrupted; so as frequently to burst over a vessel's side or quarter.

  • -- William Falconer 威廉·法尔科纳

长海意味着长而宽的波浪匀速而稳定地运动;相反,当它们不规则地、破碎地、中断地运行时,就是短海;经常从船舷或船尾炸开。
