If you say 'How do you mean?' to someone, you are asking them to explain or give more details of what they have just said. [British, informal]
'The fuel gauge is broken.'—'Broken? How do you mean?'
from Collins COBUILD
---------------------------------------------

Editor: Generally, we don't need information on what the English definition means.
Instead, please give some examples of usage of the *Chinese* term.

E.g.
「涵碧樓接待一個客人,與外面五星級飯店接待三個客人,營收是一樣的。」此話怎講?
"The Lalu Hotel takes in as much revenue with one guest as other five-star hotels do with three." How is this?

這些爭議令人憂心,同時在強勢通路壓境下,一盤散沙式的出版社恐怕只能選擇屈服或退出。不過資深出版人「老貓」陳穎青卻反向思考,並大膽斷言──「誠品吹起了台灣出版產業改革的號角」,此話怎講?
These controversies make one worry that with such strong pressure from retailers the average small-scale publisher could only give in to demands or go out of business. But experienced publisher Chen Ying-chin thinks otherwise. He boldly asserts, "Eslite is sounding the call for reform among Taiwan's publishers." How could that be?

释义
此话怎讲? please explain what you mean
例句
Rajesh: Excuse me, but I think you're missing a big opportunity here.

拉什:不好意思,但我觉得你可能会错过一个很好的机会。
谢尔顿:此话怎讲?
拉什:大家都知道基因的多样性会产生更强大的后代。(生活大爆炸)
