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
; @0 m, j$ k0 o# g
那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？

/ E/ w9 [. T" \9 W; A但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
! D0 @5 B7 _( W  c8 d( V  X"That means ..........."
& Y! E1 r: P/ o' _Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
( ^! K( `5 a/ a: r6 A把 does 省略成 's 不少见:

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
/ V9 n6 L0 I& g$ V, o" @4 F& h* {"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.

# M- c" K/ H' R$ ~' r4 |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?

如果加上出处就更好了，
