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

那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
" C* _2 N6 L+ a/ R
但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

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
$ G# ]* h  a1 U( y"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.

  e2 G: [9 m$ m% z. T  g* }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。
