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？

7 E& Y' z; F) q: I/ m' t! F6 d但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:

Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
8 y0 c9 g  ?- T, R, ]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
9 ?/ r: {' a5 b/ f2 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.

what does that mean?

6 I6 Y$ ^" u$ Q( C' P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?
