, _4 W8 o! c% q+ l2 l. ?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?

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

4 |  x0 r. q7 Z2 x- f" T* NBy 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:
- F  X" u0 G0 e( B
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。

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。

9 ]$ z) k5 s* m) ^7 E$ i) yFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.

You are right. I was just clerical error.
