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
% e* C& {1 B5 s
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
; g1 H" l* \! B5 M# 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。

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?

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:

3 }$ `7 A( M/ T9 S4 O( J6 b' d1 ZAm I making sense?
, f; R, X, V  G% aDo I make sense?
: L% F7 p  H* z1 IDoes it make sense?

Is it  making sense?
( Y- \7 f0 M- y3 @That makes sense?( 反问)
( }' z7 Y7 r6 C% _3 c0 K: ?, ]
If 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。

You are right. I was just clerical error.
