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
/ @7 ]- Q( W7 L( p
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
2 F  Z6 t/ C, k" k
* v& J. k+ @' X  Z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:

: d1 P0 M& D# Y* ^  \' m5 aAm I making sense?
$ s* f* p- x% `9 v' E$ r' ?Do I make sense?
( ?) t" e: T! W1 T* S# \  \Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
0 W9 [" @& g% v% ]Is it  making sense?
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。

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...

/ W  B3 J* @% T, WFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
7 `( Y0 ~0 Y' d/ P8 C2 DI 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.
