To annul something is to say, with official power, that it no longer stands — and often that it never truly stood. The word lives in law. People hear it most with marriage: a court can annul a marriage, which is not a divorce. A divorce ends a marriage that was real. Annul treats it as if it was never valid (one person already married, or never freely said yes, and so on). You can also annul a contract, a law, or a decision: wipe it out as a legal fact. It is a cold, formal verb. You do not annul a dinner plan; you cancel that. You annul things that were meant to bind people in law.
宣告無效；撤銷（尤指婚姻）
