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。 m2 h7 @* t/ K/ z. H( P

Is that make making sense?

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense? + {2 H1 ?: A7 m& @5 ?9 c! B5 r3 T; V
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:7 Y( `4 a7 ]1 W' `! \

I never heard this before, maybe Oliveoil knew about it. We couldn't give it up until we really aware of this slang. Anyway, I will check it out.
