我经常听别人这么说，不光是中国人，洋人也这么说

' d2 P+ Z7 G, E+ J那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
. t  c. r5 M) ~/ h/ a" o% _
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
, N6 \& f/ D) e! C7 n( o; O"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.

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?

1. contraction of what is or what has: What's the matter? What's been done?

如果加上出处就更好了，
