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
' d6 Z4 k( |; N) u* a' f& L7 {% k
6 }- A& R6 I8 x' c' X* eThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
# n/ k/ r- G7 W( ~" D2 c9 U
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。

According to your explaination, can I make a sentence like this: The reason that a boy shows excessive careness to a strange girl  is a dead lobster.
Is that make sense?

% w0 R9 A0 Z. |% @% }! _# dI think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

; d2 r3 ~( s$ y9 x8 qBy 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?
' R$ e! _6 h7 n% j5 _Do I make sense?
" {" ?, @& e6 t/ U+ s: Q" m5 GDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?

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

: k  W7 t8 z# ~( s0 C6 X4 b  L! D2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...

# S- f3 N, `8 ~6 K5 X- jFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
