<p><span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">难免</span>&#160;(<span class="pinyin">nánmiǎn</span>) means "<b>to be unavoidable</b>" or "<b>inevitable</b>" and is most commonly placed before a verb, often an auxillary verb such as&#160;<span class="hanzi">会</span>&#160;or&#160;<span class="hanzi">要</span>. It can only be used to introduce an inevitable situation that is characterized by negative features. One cannot use&#160;<span class="hanzi">难免</span>&#160;to talk of a positive inevitability such as "<b>you will inevitably have a good time</b>."</p>

  <div class="exemple">
    <ul>
      <li><span class="hanzi">刚 开始 说 外语 时 难免 会 有 一些 误会。</span>&#160;<span class="trans">When you first start speaking a foreign language, there are inevitably going to be some misunderstandings.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">年轻 人 难免 会 遇到 挫折，关键 是 学习 怎么样 克服。</span>&#160;<span class="trans">Young people are always going to face problems, but the most important thing is to learn how to overcome them.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">第 一 次 坐 飞机 出国 难免 会 有点 兴奋 。</span>&#160;<span class="trans">There‘s no way not to feel excited about it the first time you go abroad by plane .</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">现在 是 高峰期，地铁 难免 会 拥挤。</span>&#160;<span class="trans">It's rush hour right now. There's no way to avoid the congestion in the subway.</span></li>

      <li><span class="hanzi">这家 公司 的 实习生 难免 要 做 一些 打杂 的 事。</span>&#160;<span class="trans">There's no way for the interns at this firm to avoid doing odds and ends.</span></li>

  <p>Using a negative in the phrase after&#160;<span class="hanzi">难免</span>&#160;does not change the meaning of the sentence. So, for example,&#160;<span class="hanzi">难免不拥挤</span>&#160;and&#160;<span class="hanzi">难免拥挤</span>&#160;mean the same thing.</p>
