展厅里给球星看货：a moot point
德玛尼把球星凯文带到霍华德的店里看货。凯文先挑耳环，听说清洗免费，随口夸自己也损人：I would think you'd have bigger rocks than that（我还以为你会有更大的宝石）。他看中一块老款总统表，霍华德直言 it's dope（真够酷）。想学谈生意时怎么捧货、怎么砍价，这段全是行话。
发生了什么
德玛尼带球星凯文来霍华德的展厅看货。凯文挑了副耳环，听说 For free（免费）就乐了，还打趣说这么大块头，宝石该再大点。他转看手表，点名要那块以离谱低价收来的总统表；霍华德承认它是 older model（老款），但还是很酷，只是 the box and papers（表盒和证书）早就没了。两人为有没有证书争了几句，霍华德 It's a moot point（没有讨论意义）把话题转到钻石上。keep it that way 是保持现状；box and papers 是名表的表盒和证书；a moot point 是没有讨论意义。
这场戏看什么
- 留意 Kevin 的调侃如何拉近距离
- 看篮球闲聊怎样切入挑表
- 注意证书话题让气氛突然变紧
留意这几个短语

I would think you'd have bigger rocks than that just 'cause you're a big guy.would 表委婉判断：I would think 配上 you'd have，把一句挖苦包装成客气推测：我本以为你这种人宝石该更大。真正的锋利藏在 would 的客气里。

这一章能学到
- 学会用 for free 说明服务不收费
- 听懂 iced-out 和 bling out 的珠宝口语
- 掌握用 moot point 结束无效争论
- 能从比赛闲聊自然转到手表询价
发音重点
- charge it — charge 的词尾 dʒ 与 it 的 /ɪ/ 连成 /tʃɑrdʒɪt/，中间别停，it 很轻。
- For free — for 常弱化为 /fə/，元音几乎不占时长；free 拉长重读，强弱对比是这句的关键。
- moot point — moot 的元音是 /uː/，双唇收圆；point 的双元音 /ɔɪ/ 要滑足，两个实词都重读，不能吞掉词尾 t。
It's a moot point, Demany, because I don't have these. All right?这事已经没有讨论意义了，德马尼，因为我手上没有这些。行了吧？ 一句术语把争吵封口：当事实本身不存在，争对错就失去意义。冷静里带着不耐烦，是甩开纠缠最干脆的方式。
Fucking older model, but it's dope.是他妈的老款，但真够酷。 先承认缺点再给出一句短促的赞美，是行家式的审美：年份不重要，够不够狠才重要。
I would think you'd have bigger rocks than that just 'cause you're a big guy.我还以为你这么大块头，宝石怎么也得比这个更大呢。 用一句客气的「我还以为」来调侃对方的块头，明明在开玩笑却说得一本正经；这种反向吹捧比直接夸更让人受用。
It scares the shit out of people.这东西能把人吓个半死。 用一个粗俗却精准的说法形容震慑力：不是「让人害怕」，而是「吓到骨子里」，炫耀里还带着对这种效果的自豪。
关于这一章的问题

指已经没有讨论意义、争也没用的问题。原句 It's a moot point，就是「这事没什么好争的了」，用来给争论画句号。
box and papers 是什么意思？
指名表原装的表盒和证书，是二手名表保真、保值的关键配件。原句说没有 box and papers，价格和可信度都会打折。

「把某人吓个半死」英语怎么说？
说 scare the shit out of someone，属粗俗但极常用的说法。原句 It scares the shit out of people，就是「这东西能把人吓个半死」。
「免费」英语怎么说？
