Unavoidable always describes sth unpleasant, especially delays and consequences. Things that are inevitable are often unpleasant, but do not have to be; collocates include change, comparison, conclusion, development, effect, outcome, part, product, question, response, result, tendency, conflict, tension and disappointment. * inevitable比unavoidable常用得多,搭配范围也更广。unavoidable总是描述不快之事,尤其是delay和consequence。inevitable常常但并非只能描述不快之事,搭配词有change、comparison、conclusion、development、effect、outcome、part、product、question、response、result、tendency、conflict、 tension和disappointment。■inescapable ˌɪnɪˈskeɪpəbl (of a fact or situation) that you cannot avoid or ignore(现实或状况)不可避免的,逃避不了的,不能忽视的◆It is an inescapable fact that how we eat affects how we feel.我们的饮食方式会影响我们的感受-这是个无法忽视的事实。▸inescapably
