   台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:


  Just because there is a correlation 1 between too variables doesn't mean that one causes the other. This assumption is a logical fallacy and yet we are drawn 3 to headlines like "People who have more sex make the most money." Unfortunately "this" does not always equal "that".
  不能单凭两个变量间互有关联性,就断定两者间存在着因果关系。这种假设是个逻辑上的谬误,但我们却会被像是“性生活较频繁的人最会赚钱”这类的头条所吸引。不幸的是:“这个”未必就等于“那个”。
