Is the sentence "我们要怎么去机场？" ambiguous? 我们要怎么去机场？


The translation given is "How do we get to the airport?", but since 怎么 can also mean "why", can this sentence also be translated as "Why are we going to the airport?"

I'm probably missing something which makes this a silly question.
I am a native Chinese speaker.  This sentence is not ambiguous to me at all.  Here the "怎么" clearly means "how" to me.

But if you switch "要" and "怎么"，then the sentence will be like:

我们怎么要去机场？

Here "怎么" means "why".  This sentence sounds to me like that you have a guest coming by train but your boss asks you to go to the airport to pick him up.

Hope this helps.
