地震学家

Although changes in ground water have been observed before and after earthquakes, they don't "give you very useful information about magnitude, location and time," said David Booth, senior seismologist at the British Geological Survey, who said he had not read Claesson's research.

英国地质调查局的地震学家戴维·布斯对这一研究的前景并不乐观。他说，尽管地下水的化学成分在地震前后发生了变化，但是这并不能"给你诸如地震强度、方位和时间等非常有用的信息"。

"What has been peculiar about these earthquakes is that there seems to be a disproportionate number of them that are uniform in size," said seismologist Tony Qamar at the University of Washington's seismic lab in Seattle.

华盛顿大学西雅图地震研究室的地震学家托尼·卡马尔说："这些地震的特别之处在于它们在规模上一致，数量上却不成比例。"

The key difference between the quakes on Monday and in 1976 was location, says Mr. Musson, the seismologist.

地震学家Musson先生认为，这次地震于一九七六年唐山地震的关键不同之处在于它们的位置。

Although seismologist Xiaodong Song acknowledged the mystery is "really a complicated problem," he and fellow seismologist Paul Richards have managed to unravel it.

尽管地震学家孙晓东承认这种神秘性是"真正复杂难解的问题，"他和他的地震学家朋友保罗理查德已经想过如何解开这个迷团。

Seismology experts in Japan also compared the earthquake to the Kobe quake of 1995 in Japan in which more than 5,000 were killed.

日本的地震学家同样将这次地震与1995年发生在日本神户的地震，那次造成了5，000人的死亡。

Victor Gonzalez of the Volcanological and SeismologicalObservatory of Coata Rica stated that the gas is likely to bepreviously trapped methane that was released after the jolting created a fissurein the ocean floor. He also said that it is not known how long the flammablegreenhouse gas would continue to rise.

哥斯达黎加火山和地震观测站的地震学家维多萨雷斯博士指出那些气体可能是原先冰封在海底的甲烷因为地震产生裂缝而释放出来，他也说无法确知这种易燃性的温室气体会继续冒上来多久。

Accurate short-term predictions of quakes are indeed "very difficult," said Lucile Jones, a seismologist at the US Geological Survey, in a recent interview with Xinhua.

美国地质勘探局地震学家露西尔·琼斯接受新华社记者专访时说，地震短期临震预报非常困难，精确预测地震的震级和时间仍是世界性难题。

But depending on whether they count total number of quakes or the strongest temblors, geologistsdon't agree on ranking beyond that.

但是，除了参考地震次数和强度的数据外，地震学家们还没有采用其他的方法对容易发生地震的地区进行分级。

B Wrong C Not mentioned2. It is fun to identify the fault for the AD 365 earthquake and tsunami.3. Radiocarbon dating techniques can be used to identify the age of the earth.

现在地震学家对地中海断层进行研究，并认定断层的运动造成公元365年的地震和海啸，以及推算出地震和海啸发生的周期。

The analyses of earthquake clouds as a form of earthquake prediction are generally not accepted by seismologists and other scientists.

通过分析地震云来进行地震预报，也是地震预报的一种形式，但这种方式通常不被地震学家和其他科学家所接受。

Lugalbanda was a god and shepherd king of Uruk where he was worshipped for over a thousand years.

Lugalbanda 是神和被崇拜了一千年多 Uruk古埃及喜克索王朝国王。

I am coming just now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat.
