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
/ t( V8 f6 y4 a; x4 m
9 _+ A% _! F! h; ?' y2 Z) P" `( NThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
- b: A7 t# ^" N" o: z$ W+ v; ^
2 i' }7 `  Z" j) @) t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。

By 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:
3 I( y  s/ H% y; O
7 s- ^2 G( O2 J$ H( GAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
. `" R4 e1 _. V9 IIt makes sense?（反问）

  E: y, `( p# J& i8 V2 ?0 }That makes sense?( 反问)

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

/ q9 {% }2 K) `. P2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...

From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
; M; S2 k* X7 g: ]0 gI never heard this before, maybe Oliveoil knew about it.  We couldn't give it up until we really aware of this slang.  Anyway, I will check it out.

You are right. I was just clerical error.
