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
! y4 Q) L5 X8 T  J5 K( i8 F1 N
5 e. _, ?* N- F1 ]% WThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
% V6 {( D3 }5 H0 |; N, ~5 ^/ j4 w
! A( o/ e3 B. j1 Y% c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。

Am I making sense?

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

; z+ V* h6 @* ?1 u7 W2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...

( Q9 g4 X0 d; x# q8 A; A8 f& qFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
