There is usually no clear correlation between the magnitude of a shock and the number of killed people or other destruction.
一般来说，在地震震级与死亡人数，其它破坏之间并没有明显的相关联系。Those earthquakes were of a smaller magnitude but had a similar impact in terms of deaths.
这些地震震级较小，但就死亡人数而言，影响差不多。The US geological survey said the quake had a magnitude of 8. 9, with an epicentre about 130 kilometres off Japan's east coast.
美国地质调查称这次地震震级为8.9，震中位于离日本东海岸130公里处。Presgrave said the quake's damage potential was great because of its strength, nearness to population centers and shallow epicenter.
普赖斯格雷夫称，这次地震有可能造成重大的破坏，因为这次地震震级高，临近人口密集的中心且震核浅。Earthquake with a magnitude only one, but because of the intensity varies in different places, not the same intensity value.
同一个地震，震级只有一个，但烈度却因地而异，不同的地方，烈度值不一样。Chinese seismologists said the quake had a magnitude of 7. 1.
中国地震学家称地震震级为7.1级。The quake, which the US Geological Survey rates as a magnitude 7. 8, was strong enough to shake buildings as far away as New Delhi, India.
据美国地质勘探局测定，地震震级为7.8级，印度首都新德里的高楼有晃动。These threshold limits may be based on engineering analyses and predicted magnitudes of behavior made during the design of the dam.
这些阈范围可根据工程分析和预测地震震级的行为在三峡大坝的设计。The quake, though very much larger, may prove less damaging, though horrific enough for all that.
尽管此次地震震级大很多thoughhorrificenoughforallthat，但损失也许会小的多。
