Question

moot n.大会；讨论会；辩论会adj.未决议的；抽象论的v.使成为无实用性的东西 (1) 这个问题是许多年前就提出的。 Though moot can mean to debate endlessly without any clear decision or to think about something carefully, it most often describes ideas and arguments that don't really matter. If your plane is crashing, whether or not your socks match is a moot point. When someone accuses you of making a moot point, he's basically saying, "Come on! Let's talk about what's important." As with so many things, people don't always agree on what's moot and what's not.
