This fallacy gets its name from the Latin phrase "post hoc, ergo propter hoc," which translates as "after this, therefore because of this."

该谬误来源于拉丁习语“post hoc, ergo proter hoc”，“在它之后，也正是由于它”。

Tip: to avoid the post hoc fallacy, the arguer would need to give us some explanation of the process by which the tax increase is supposed to have produced higher crime rates.

技巧：上述示例中，避免原因错误，论者需要给予解释，说明提高了的税赋是怎样导致了犯罪率升高的。
