agree  Kevin Yang: I think if you add "了"in your sentence, your sentence will carry out the meaning of "yet". For example:你知道這是甚麼了嗎？

  -> yes Kevin, it is just perfect, I woke up this morning and thought about this amendment, then saw your answer :-). I guess your amended translation is the closest to the source text.

你看出来（这是什么）了吗？


Explanation:

基本上与Jinshi的译法一样，只是多提供一种选择。既然是"illustration"，用“看”字也许更好一些。括弧里的字可以根据情况决定取舍。

另一种选择：

“你弄明白（这是什么）了吗？”

还可以考虑：

“你弄明白（是怎么回事）了吗？”

因为有时候\"what it is\" 不一定是问一个对象，也可能是问一种情况，一种关系，等等。
