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

1 k# }5 ?; B5 k那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
7 B6 p2 T, k* Q6 c
/ h7 L, b* G  _% b但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
' n% b8 }2 o! |$ M"That means ..........."
/ x4 a4 b# j1 c2 ZThen you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
3 h: }! o6 }8 g7 F, u8 LWhat's it like?
' c# L  i3 e) T" x) q* SWhat'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
& c, m7 n' g. F0 g* Y# F"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.

) p) W# s' r6 p说这是英式口语的缩写，不知然否

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?
