Scientists measure the intensities of earthquakes using the Richter scale.

科学家使用里氏震级测量地震的强度。

The earthquake registered 5.3 points on the Richter scale.

地震为里氏五点三级.

That might not sound like a lot, but decibels are on a logarithmic scale, like the Richter scale for earthquakes.

这听起来可能不多，但是分贝是一个经过对数处理的单位，类似于地震单位里氏。

More than 1000 aftershocks were recorded with at least four measuring above six on the Richter scale.

共录得超过一千次余震,其中最少有四次达黎克特制六级以上.

Earthquakes used to be measured on the Richter Scale, but now they use the Moment Magnitude Scale to designate a magnitude level for each quake between 1 and 10.

地震以前是用里氏震级来测量的，但现在他们用矩震级1到10级来表示地震的震级。

The next day I learned that a 7.6 Richter-scale earthquake had devastated the lovely rural communities of central Taiwan.

第二天我得知台湾中部许多偏远而可爱的乡间都遭到里氏七点六级大地震的蹂躏。
