avoid
avoid v. (1)使无效；撤销 在法律意义上，它与「void」同义，但后者除动词词性外，还可作名词、形容词。并且，由于avoid还具有「避免」、「回避」等一般含义，为避免混淆，多采用void表达。 (2)避免；回避；逃避
AVOID
avoid
avoid, vb. To render void (because the restrictive covenant was overbroad, the court avoided it). • Because this legal use of avoid can be easily confused with the ordinary sense of the word, the verb to void is preferable.
