Seismologists in California have recorded more than 3,000 earthquakessince the Fourth of July, when a 6.

自7月4日该州南部发生6.

4级地震以来，加州地震学家已经记录了3000多次地震。

Officials now believe that the initial jolt was a foreshock.

政府现在认为最初的地震是前震。

Since Thursday morning, there have been 340 earthquakes with a magnitude stronger than 3, 54 with a magnitude stronger than 4, six with a magnitude stronger than 5, and one 7.

1 magnitude quake on Friday, Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson told reporters on Saturday.

加州理工大学地震学家欧克森(Egill Hauksson)周六对记者表示，自周四上午以来，共发生340次3级以上地震，54次4级以上地震，6次5级以上地震，周五甚至发生一次7.

1级地震。

Seismologist Lucy Jones tweetedSaturday night that "larger quakes are looking more improbable" but that magnitude 4 earthquakes are "certain" in the next week, and some magnitude 5s are "likely".

地震学家露西·琼斯(Lucy Jones)周六晚上在推特上说，更大的地震看起来不太可能发生”，但4级地震在下周肯定会发生”，一些5级地震很可能会发生”。

"The sequence is decaying, and the decay rate is on the high side of average," she said.

"So the probabilities of more aftershocks are dropping.

"她说：这个序列正在衰减，衰减率处于平均水平的高水平。

”因此，更多余震的可能性正在下降。

”Seismologists also said they expect to ultimately record more than 30,000 earthquakes at a magnitude 1 or higher.

地震学家还表示，他们预计最终将记录超过3万次1级或大于1级的地震。

The quakes have centered around California's Searles Valley, near the town of Ridgecrest, which has bore the brunt of the damage.

地震主要发生在加利福尼亚州的瑟尔斯山谷附近的Ridgecrest镇，这里是受灾最严重的地区。

目前没有人员死亡报告，部分人员受轻伤，但地震还是引发了一些火灾，建筑物也遭受了重大破坏。
