死龙虾 dead lobster

heartbroke2

前一阵公司开会，大家热烈讨论。有个词是dead lobster. 比说

' Q* c1 r+ S3 p& x1 t4 X* ]The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
- s8 q0 m& n8 ?4 E
( j& M2 n) j  ?6 G% X. i+ D" E真是莫名其妙啊！问了一下，解释说：你假如把一个死龙虾往屋里一扔，人人都会看到。所以dead lobster意思是显而易见的东西。我问为何不用live lobster或者dead crab呢？回答是因为第一个人这么用了，所以大家也就这么用了。

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

0 {0 w3 a5 k& y& u/ [" r( DBy the way, I often hear people use the phrase "make sense"; so I am wondering how to use them. There are some ways to use the phrase:

Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。

2楼的那句，我和Heartbroke2 问了一下老外，老外说觉得这么用很怪，但也不知道该怎么改。有的老外还说，Dead Lobster也不完全是“显而易见“ 的意思。这词我们还是不用了吧，搞不清楚。

The dead lobster is how to attract end users...
