<p>难免 (nánmiǎn) means "to be unavoidable" or "inevitable" and is
most commonly placed before a verb, often an auxillary verb such as
会 or 要. It can only be used to introduce an inevitable situation
that is characterized by negative features. One cannot use 难免 to
talk of a positive inevitability such as "you will inevitably have
a good time."</p>

</div>
<p>Using a negative in the phrase after 难免 does not change the
meaning of the sentence. So, for example, 难免不拥挤 and 难免拥挤 mean the
same thing.</p>
