false cause You presumed that a real or perceived relationship between things means that one is the cause of the other. Many people confuse correlation (things happening together or in sequence) for causation (that one thing actually causes the other to happen). Sometimes correlation is coincidental, or it may be attributable to a commoncause. Example: Pointing to a fancy chart, Roger shows how temperatures have been rising over the past few centuries, whilst at the same time the numbers of pirates have been decreasing; thus pirates cool the world and global warming is a hoax. 3种 谬误属于这类： 1. after this, therefore because of this ( post hoc ergo propter hoc ) 2. with this, therefore because of this ( cum hoc ergo propter hoc ) 3. non sequitur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpYP7tfqr8g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A7hSaoRv0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joIAkbIYTWM
前几天收到一位西人女友凯萝的邮件,说Hello Ingrid; Me and a friend are having our birthday party together on Saturday August 17th at 6:00 p.m. at Earl's restaurant. I would like to invite you and Alfred （我的老公，凯萝也很熟悉的）to come and join us for the fun. You can have dinner or a drink and some appies, it's up to you. All you have to do is bring yourself and Alfred. We will be providing some cakes and fruit and some surprises. I would really like it if you could come. 我当然答应和老公一起去,以前参加过好几次老年活动班自带点心的生日聚会,去餐馆聚会还是第一次。凯萝又来信说穿着要求Funny, It is a fun party。 不料老公临出发前突然肠胃不舒服,既然答应凯萝，我也就单枪匹马出阵了。按照我那可怜的英语水平，理解是无需带任何东西送任何礼物，于是准备了两张自己画的贺卡。 到了那里，发现都是女士，总共十二个中老年女士。闹是闹得来，我戴着助听器差点震坏耳膜。 顿时觉得老公肚子闹得真是英明及时。作为佛教徒居士，他肯定不习惯这么吵闹的女士集会的。 十个女人三群鸭(还有两个迟到了) 我和两位寿星 足足热闹了一小时，开始点菜了。生日寿星问大家是单独账单还是公共账单后平摊，两位寿星提供的是蛋糕水果。大家都说单独菜单好。这下我傻眼了，因为我以为只要人到就可以，无需带钱的。马上去洗手间检查手袋，里面有二十加币不到的硬币。安心了一些。 于是点了一个十四加币不到的地中海面条，心想加税加小费十九加币足够了。伺者为要海虾还是肌肉，我要了海虾；又问要什么面包，我要了蒜面包。 上菜了，吃了一半才想起拍照。 我的 邻座的 完了想，当众付钱全是硬币，多难看。还不如去柜台先付吧。账单打出来一看，顿时傻眼，总共二十一加币，原来虾和面包另外加钱的！我可怜兮兮地说，糟了。伺 者小心翼翼地建议，要不向别人借借？我说不，因为除了凯萝，其他人都是第一次见面。善解人意的伺者又问我是否需要打电话，我连忙电话老公。老公在那一头听 说老婆出丑了，语气立即精神起来，等着，我马上赶到。 回到座位寿星开始吹蜡烛切生日蛋糕了，那是免费的，我吃了味同嚼蜡，盼着大家慢慢吃，等我老公来了再结束。幸好那些女人们还在疯笑疯说，以至隔壁男士前来意见：你们这桌女士们太吵了，影响了我们的聚会。 我不时看着门外，担心自己地址说错老公找不到。过了二十分钟，终于看到老公的身影在门外一闪，他不好意思进门因为先前说拉肚子不参加了。我连忙赶去拿了钱付了帐。 因为老公车子等在外面，我回桌打个招呼先离开，大家很诧异，说还早呢只有九点多。我已经无心恋战，一一拥抱道别。 回到家，儿子大声赞赏我老公带病仍旧一身英雄救美女的豪气！儿媳妇抿嘴忍住笑，我让他们读读凯萝的信，不是说 All you have to do is bring yourself and Alfred吗？他们说，那也没说不带钱呀！ 帮我点这里给我的画加分吧，谢谢啦～
