GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:invalidate entry
Chinese translation:废止条目; 废止输入; 废除条目； 废除输入

Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software / Website UI command
English term or phrase: invalidate entry
这里的invalidate entry看样子是网站界面上的一条命令，我觉得和软件界面上的命令类似，所以这个问题放在“computer:software”类目下。

invalidate的一般意思是使...无效、使...失效，entry一般可译为“条目”。

如果在句子里，译为“使条目无效”似乎也没什么问题。现在客户给的这个词看样子是网页上的一个按钮。如果也译为“使条目无效”似乎总觉得不太对劲。一般这种格式的命令名中译时都写为“动+名”或“动”或“名”，比如“禁用条目”、“取消条目”。“禁用”和“取消”在意思上看起来比较像，但各自也有对应的英文。

我本人更希望有一个“动+名”形式的翻译。

有什么建议？

Notes to answerer
Asker: 多谢回复。我理解entry应该是条目。这是一个网站字串翻译项目，里面全是字串。这种 invalidate xxx 形式的字串还有几个，都是小写（我有点怀疑为什么小写），括在括号里：(invalidate contest)、(invalidate entry)、(invalidate user)、(invalidate photo)、(invalidate image)，看样子宾语都是对像，不是动作。其它同一格式的基本都是些操作，比如(remove)、(promote entry)。不过也有个别长的不是动作的，但不清楚算不算同一类，比如：(all dates in Eastern Standard Time)

Asker: 宾语都是对象，不是动作。

Asker: 非常感谢。查了一下，确实见过有些情况下把invalidate翻译为注销的，不过一方面注销本身一般不用这个英文，另一方面个人觉得意思上还是有些差异。
