“ the facts are that the first blue print on prediction research was not assembled until the mid 1960 ' s and that blue print was not followed “事实是，关于地震预测研究的头一个兰本直到六十年代中期尚未准备好，而且这个兰本根本没有执行。
“ the current debate has taken the matter further , with the assertion , based on two arguments 论据 , that such prediction is intrinsically impossible “目前的争论已将这个问题进一步引伸，依据两项论据，断言地震预测从内在原因上讲是不可能的。 ”
The case study approach to earthquake prediction research should be abandoned in favour of the objective testing of unambiguously formulated hypotheses 对地震预测研究的案例研究途经应当被抛弃，代之以对较明白建立起来的假定进行有目标的试验。 ”
No prediction research program existed before the 1970s and after the short flurry of activity in the mid 1970s , funding in the us and europe dried up 七十年代之前不存在任何地震预测的项目计划，七十年代中期短期部分活动之后，美国和欧洲用于该方面的经费就枯竭了。
“ unfortunately , human psychology is such that hasty workers and true believers will always mess around with the problem of earthquake prediction that fascinates them “遗憾的是，由于心理学上的原因，草率的工作者和诚心实意的信徒总会搞乱使他们着迷的地震预测的问题。
Using the fuzzy mathematic method , the fuzzy information of earthquake preparation shown by the seismicity multifold indexes was transformed into the clear results of earthquake prediction 应用这些方法可以将多项指标所显示的孕震的模糊信息转化为清晰的地震预测结果。
“ in japan , particularly in the aftermath of the kobe earthquake in 1995 , there is a growing realization that successful earthquake prediction might not be realistic13 “在日本，作为1995年神户地震后果之一，正在加强一种理解，认为进行成功的地震预测大概并不实际18 。 ”
“ although models of intermittent criticality might promise improved methods for intermediate - term earthquake prediction , we must be careful not to overstate their claims “尽管间歇性危险状态模型有可能对中期地震预测提供改进的方法，我们必须注意不要夸大其声称的作用。 ”
Preoccupied with consolidating this discovery for about a decade , seismologists spent no time on prediction research and plans drawn up for such a program remained largely unimplemented ( see a 地震学家花了大约十年全神贯注于巩固这种发现，没有时间从事地震预测方面的研究。
Whether earthquakes at the edge of the warning area can be considered as successfully predicted is one of the controversial problems in earthquake prediction study 摘要对位于地震预测工作所圈定的地震危险区附近的地震的统计检验问题，一直是地震预测研究中一个颇有争议的问题。
