·还算可以·的意思 meaning of ...

你好!在一个听力的问题, 一个人说 (in a listening exercise, a men says this sentence),“你最近在学校的表现怎么样?” 我应该选择一个合适的回答, 在书上这是对的回答 (and then I should choose the right answer among many. According to my book the right answer should be this:) “还算可以” 但是我不能懂,but I cannot understand why, and what is the semantic linking among the two sentences, probably I misunderstood both

    it sounds right to me.

    A: 你最近在学校的表现怎么样? (How are you doing in school lately?)
    B: 还算可以
    还算可以 is a phrase which means "its ok" or simply "ok", you could also say 还算行 / 还可以 / 一般 / 还不错, all share the same meaning.

    It means that's okay.
    well, there is another word in Chinese to express the same meaning 差强人意(means something can make sb satisfied in a way)

    还算可以 means that's okay,the main meaning is 'just so so'

    the question -- how? 怎么样?
    the answer -- quite fine 还 算 可以
    what confuses you is probably the meaning of 可以 = can
    but
    here it's "can" as "a way to go" = "fine" = "quite all right"
