Weber’s Law says that we perceive differences on a logarithmic, not a linear scale.

字来给它。伯定律，我们在数尺度上感知物体不同点，而不是在线性尺度上。

Polynomials could also be used to approximate logarithmic and trigonometric functions, which are a real hassle to calculate by hand.

多项式也可以用于近似数和三角函数这些函数手算相当麻烦。

Decibels are in what we call a logarithmic scale, for the mathematicians out there.

于那里数学家来说，分贝是我们所说数刻度。

They discussed how to tabulate a logarithmic table in a tabloid.

他们讨论如何在一个小报上制一个数表。

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

这听起来可能不是很多， 但分贝是数标度，就像地震里氏标度一样。

The decibel scale is what's used to measure the loudness of a sound and it's important to note that the scale is logarithmic.

分贝刻度是用来测量响度，而且重要是要注意这个分贝刻度表呈数曲线。

Do you think you have an architecture now where there is a chance for the logarithmic curve not to tail off any anytime soon?

您认为您现在拥有架构是否有机会使数曲线不会很快消失？

These beasts can work with scientific notation, logarithmic and trigonometric calculations, exponential functions, roots and powers, and other long complicated mathematical terms that many people have never even heard of.

科学计算器可以使用科学记数法、数和三角函数计算、指数函数、根和幂，以及许多人从未听说过其他冗长复杂数学术语。

Scientists love to put big booms on a scale and came up with a logarithmic scale that measures the volume ejected during an eruption: The Volcanic Explosivity Index, or VEI.

科学家们喜欢把大爆发放在一个刻度上，并提出了一个数刻度来测量火山喷发期间所喷出体积：火山爆发指数，又称VEI。
