Collins	what ★★★★★ /(h)wɒ̱t/ Usually pronounced /wɒt/ for meanings 2, 4, 5 and 18. 义项2, 4, 5和18在句中通常不作重读。 1 [QUEST 疑问词](用于疑问句中询问所不知道的信息)什么 You use what in questions when you ask for specific information about something that you do not know. What do you want?... 你想要什么？ What did she tell you, anyway?... 总之，她告诉了你什么？ 'Has something happened?' — 'Indeed it has.' — 'What?'... “有什么事发生吗？”——“当然有。”——“什么事？” What are the greatest sources of conflict in the Middle East?... 中东冲突的最重要原因是什么？ Hey!

[emphasis] What precisely triggered off yesterday's riot is still unclear... 究竟是什么引发了昨天的骚乱还不清楚。 What I wanted, more than anything, was a few days' rest... 我最想要的就是能休息几天。 What she does possess is the ability to get straight to the core of a problem. 她确实有直入问题本质的能力。 4 [CONJ-SUBORD 连词]…那样的(事物) You use what in expressions such as what is called and what amounts to when you are giving a description of something.
