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

+ t8 `* ?: R2 p2 q  X5 h7 ~% Y那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？

但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
# o+ }+ g3 L3 X6 Y) ?+ l; a0 G"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
4 h: M' d3 K( X( H把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
7 t' }- A2 f" W! D" R; V" eWhat'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
( @( Q" x4 n$ V* M. Q* e, v3 I"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's that mean?
  q* |$ v9 [: J% T% vwhat does that mean?

  t8 p# L) z# b  V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?
