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

的名字来给它命名。韦伯定律，我们对数尺度上感知物体不同点，而不是线性尺度上。

In all seriousness, though, I'm pretty sure the index is meant to be logarithmic like earthquake magnitudes.

不过讲真，我很确定这指数本来是要像地震震级样呈对数出现。

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

多项式也可以用对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.

对那里的数家来说，分贝是我们所说的对数刻度。

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

他们讨论如何小报上制对数表。

First, there is a logarithmic relationship between the capabilities of AI and the resources invested.

首先，人工智能的能力与其投入的资源之间存对数关系。

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， 但分贝是对数标度，就像地震的里氏标度样。

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声音的响度的，而且重要的是要注意这分贝刻度表呈对数曲线。

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

您认为您现拥有的架构是否有机会使对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.

科计算器可以使用科记数法、对数和三角函数计算、指数函数、根和幂，以及许多人从未听说过的其他冗长复杂的数术语。

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.

科家们喜欢把大爆发放刻度上，并提出了对数刻度来测量火山喷发期间所喷出的体积：火山爆发指数，又称VEI。

So, prior to the slide rule, we had to calculate logs using these long charts known as " log tables." So, the basis behind the slide rule were these very, very long books of incredibly accurate logarithmic tables.

因此，计算尺出现之前，我们必须使用这些称为“对数表”的长图表来计算对数。所以，计算尺背后的基础是这些非常非常长的书，里面有极其精确的对数表。
