revocation + of [document/permission/law]

用法筆記

Almost exclusively used in legal, governmental, and administrative contexts. The noun is commonly followed by an 'of'-phrase specifying what is being revoked — common objects include 'license', 'permit', 'passport', 'visa', 'agreement', 'contract', 'treaty', and 'law'. The verb form 'revoke' is often more natural in everyday writing when the agent is specified.

💡When the person or body performing the action is named, the verb 'revoke' is usually more concise and natural than the noun phrase 'revocation of... was made by...'.
