Was gibt's? ➜ Was ist das?

Obwohl das denkbar ist, glaube ich nicht, daß das hier gemeint ist.

Es scheint, daß wir uns beide in der Bedeutung geirrt haben. Hier ist der Kontext:
"What ineffable twaddle!" I cried, slapping the magazine down on the table, "I never read such rubbish in my life."
"What is it?" asked Sherlock Holmes.
"Why, this article," I said, pointing at it with my egg spoon as I sat down to my breakfast. "I see that you have read it since you have marked it. I don't deny that it is smartly written. It irritates me though. It is evidently the theory of some arm-chair lounger who evolves all these neat little paradoxes in the seclusion of his own study. It is not practical. I should like to see him clapped down in a third class carriage on the Underground, and asked to give the trades of all his fellow-travellers. I would lay a thousand to one against him."

Thank you very much!
