問英文 \”had better include\”

for 816 square feet, that had better include visits by Jackie Chan Kong Sang or Jay-z.


"had better" is an idiom, to mean:
(1) "must" or "should", with an implication of "or else".
(2) "cannot afford not to"

For example:
"You had better come" means:
(1) "you must come, otherwise there will be consequences".
(2) "you cannot afford not to come".

"had better" can also mean "cannot do without" or "will not work without"
For example:
"For 816 square feet, that had better include visits by Jackie Chan (Kong Sang) or Jay-z"
means:
"For 816 square feet, the price is too expensive unless it includes visits by rich and famous celebrities like Jackie Chan and Jay-z.

To answer the question, and to simplify it, we can say "had better include" almost means "it should include". The word "visits" is part of the phrase "visits by Jackie Chan or Jay-z". Without the full sentence, I would guess that the word "that" in the clause "that had better include" represents "the price of the apartment", which according to the author, is too expensive, and therefore requires some extra value, such as visits by celebrities, to justify it.

In reality, the author is just using the "celebrities visits" to express his/her opinion that the place is overpriced.

Had better = 最好

e.g. You had better stop now. 你 最好/好 馬上停止

that had better include visits by jackie chan= 它最好包括埋成龍的探訪
