about cmd /c and Quote

[Pern]

i want to run cmd like this in cygwin:
  cmd /c echo "a b"      --> "a b"
  cmd /c echo "ab"       -->  ab
but the second cannnot work right
because i really want to print out the "
i also try this:
  cmd /c echo '"ab"'     --> "\"ab\""
u see, the result is so strange

how can i to print a " ?
and what do cygwin do to my command  cmd /c echo '"ab"'  ?
