但是，斯诺说：预测地震代表的只是地震和火山喷发“共生”关系的其中之一。

White说：“得知何时火山的不稳定成为喷发的前兆是一项挑战，而更大的挑战在于预测即将到来的喷发规模。”

但是他们又同时说明eyjafjallajokull火山自周三起开始喷发，火山喷发的规律似乎没有太大的变化，任何关于喷发时间的估计都是预测而已。

One official said she doesn't think this new eruption will have that kind of impact, although she said it's hard to predict how the ash cloud might move.
两次喷发活动的确认为研究老黑山火山喷发历史、喷发过程、喷发危险性评价和灾害预测等提供了新依据。
The confirmation of two-stage eruptions is helpful to learn the history and process of Laoheishan Volcano eruption and the assessment and mitigation of volcanic hazard in the future.
火山专家说，星期五的火山喷发是自1870年代以来最大的一次。鉴于这一火山的不可预测性，印尼官员将“危险区域”扩大到方圆20公里。
Volcano experts said the Friday blast was the biggest since the 1870s. With the unpredictability of the volcano, authorities widened the danger zone around the mountain to 20 kilometers.
目前连一门能预测地震和火山喷发何时爆发的科学都没有。
There is not yet even a science for predicting when faults and volcanoes will let loose. To that extent, mankind is still vulnerable to the vagaries of the planet.
