To disclaim something is to say, often in an official way, that it is not yours, that you are not responsible, that you did not know, or that you had no part in it. A company may disclaim any link with a product sold in its name. A person may disclaim knowledge of a plan.

To disclaim somethingTo disclaim（否認、聲明無關）某件事，is to say, often in an official way就是通常用比較正式的方式說，that it is not yours這不是你的，that you are not responsible你不負責任，that you did not know你不知情，or that you had no part in it或是你跟這件事沒有關係。A company may disclaim any link with a product sold in its name一間公司可能會 disclaim 自己跟一項掛著它名字賣的產品有任何關係。A person may disclaim knowledge of a plan一個人可能會 disclaim 對某個計畫知情。

It is not a kitchen-table word; you would not use it about lost keys. In ordinary talk people just say “I had nothing to do with it.” Disclaim is the careful, public, sometimes legal version of that.

It is not a kitchen-table word這不是一個家常閒聊的詞；you would not use it about lost keys你不會用它來講鑰匙不見了這種事。In ordinary talk people just say "I had nothing to do with it."日常說話大家就直接說「I had nothing to do with it」（這件事跟我沒關係）。Disclaim is the careful, public, sometimes legal version of thatDisclaim 是那句話比較謹慎、公開，有時候還帶點法律味道的版本。

Though actually, saying it does not always make the responsibility go away — it is a claim, and other people may not accept it.

Though actually不過實際上，saying it does not always make the responsibility go away說出這句話並不代表責任就真的消失了——it is a claim這仍然只是一種聲稱，and other people may not accept it其他人不一定會接受。
