［詩］孤波初遇

八三四年八月時，
聯合運河實驗中。
駿馬牽船窄道闖，
觀舟急煞致奇現。

水堆船頭狀暴湧，
滾滾狀態不凋零。
策馬追逐親目睹，
速度保持八九里。
三十英尺高度存，
經歷千里不減形。

行雲流水似譯夢，
孤峰挺立似長春。
羅素首觀孤立子，
研究發表名傳千。

2. John Scott Russell的自述原文如下：
   I was observing the motion of a boat which was rapidly drawn along a narrow channel by a pair of horses, when the boat suddenly stopped—not so the mass of water in the channel which it had put in motion; it accumulated round the prow of the vessel in a state of violent agitation, then suddenly leaving it behind, rolled forward with great velocity, assuming the form of a large solitary elevation, a rounded, smooth and well-defined heap of water, which continued its course along the channel apparently without change of form or diminution of speed. I followed it on horseback, and overtook it still rolling on at a rate of some eight or nine miles an hour [14 km/h], preserving its original figure some thirty feet [9 m] long and a foot to a foot and a half [30−45 cm] in height. Its height gradually diminished, and after a chase of one or two miles [2–3 km] I lost it in the windings of the channel. Such, in the month of August 1834, was my first chance interview with that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have called the Wave of Translation.
