moot/mu:t/ adj., v. & n.●adj. (originally the noun used attrib. 源于名词，用作定语) 1 debatable, undecided 有讨论余地的；未决的 a moot point 争论未决的问题 2 US Law having no practical significance [美]【法律】非实际的；假设的 ●v. tr. raise (a question) for discussion 提出(问题)供讨论 ●n. 1 hist. an assembly [史义]民会 2 Law a discussion of a hypothetical case as an academic exercise 【法律】模拟案件讨论 [Old English mōt, and mōtian ‘converse’, from Germanic: related to MEET1]■ Usage 用法说明 Moot ‘debatable, undecided’ is sometimes confused with mute ‘silent, dumb’, especially in the phrase moot point. moot 作“有讨论余地的”，“未决的”解时，有时与 mute (“沉默的”，“无声的”)相混，尤其在短语 moot point 中更是如此。 |
