What's that mean?

雲吞

我经常听别人这么说，不光是中国人，洋人也这么说
: J! ~! Y" s( j) y
+ f) D" V! W. x0 j那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
# `0 ~9 V" W  J+ K1 @
# ?" p! {6 L* \. a; ~但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
' X; L; n+ {9 A. T$ l$ x"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
; c8 I& v2 [- j0 n' K2 f6 q把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
What's it like?
What's he eat?
What's she look like?

为什么是does?我怎么觉得那个该是is阿，mean可以理解成名词！如果理解成动词，does就不该缩写成那样！

跟同事讨论了一下，也许是what is it means to be? 把后面的to be省掉了？不过也有老外同事说就是what does的缩写。

学习了
# |  H" m- F" I+ q# A"What's" for "what does" is moderately common in spoken informal BrE, but not all speakers would use it. You would be more likely to hear it in a non-standard variety of British English, for instance.

what does that mean?

% ?' P  A# H6 J9 w那可不是随便理解的事。mean做名词的时候只有中值的意思，意思的名词应该是meaning。
1 ?( ~7 U6 P4 ~9 G所以还应该是 What does that mean?

如果加上出处就更好了，
