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

- Z: m; j2 I6 F4 y) V: G8 |The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
; p( _' ^: ~: u- x' Q
3 }5 Q  j2 A! ]! q) p4 M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:
: B9 M% _  t" J# e( l  V- ]
Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
It 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。

You are right. I was just clerical error.
