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

3 L3 E$ x& \0 n6 X6 J2 V% Y- K7 Z那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
: a3 }* r- w- |- A2 j$ U
. ]% P  P( f# c但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
$ y, D3 o$ x- I6 }# D& L"That means ..........."
5 ~$ f/ R  W/ ]9 W, fThen you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
* z' x  [9 ?; \8 c把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
What's it like?
What's he eat?

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
% g4 p1 s* L8 d8 W"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.

说这是英式口语的缩写，不知然否

either is or does.

what does that mean?

/ ^; y4 u5 [7 b2 T4 D. X; P* D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。
所以还应该是 What does that mean?
