你这是怎么回事?
I'm not sure I understand how we get the meaning "what's wrong" here. Is 怎么回事 generally used in the negative sense, as in "what negative thing happened?" Or can the question also be used in a neutral sense to ask about an event, etc? Also, what's the difference between 怎么回事 and 怎么了?
Mandarin Blueprint
怎么回事 is more like “what (negative thing) happened" or "what's going on?" and 怎么了 is more "what's up/wrong?"
the 这是 in the middle is for emphasis.
