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
* A% _  `; a& f6 s0 k) v/ Z
1 i4 P0 J1 Q6 Q  A- C1 YThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
* O6 c) v# G# _8 e
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。

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

' f6 b8 W) E0 F8 S; A( iBy 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:
8 V6 `2 z2 J7 Y! S) k9 Z/ f
9 U) g+ Q8 S  z9 w- cAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
; r- y+ z& n7 u' a% O9 A# R" vIt makes sense?（反问）
# ~& @: o! ?, x, S5 W3 O6 jIs it  making sense?
1 @2 m# Z3 v' k- H+ ]: Z' ]3 XThat makes sense?( 反问)

  q2 N' ]6 @) H6 s! z7 @( v; e& kIf there 's  anything wrong, please correct it.I would appreciate it very much.

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

# G; l4 I" S$ p& i) w7 Y2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...

' Y% H- x. \# f4 }+ f' [* ?From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
