[ɪnˈveəriəbli]

adv. 总是；无不

“

The man behind the world’s sixth-biggest tech company is no brash, hoodie-encased youth. Instead, Pony Ma, founder, chairman and chief executive of China’s Tencent, prefers suits. “Low profile”, the description almost invariably applied to him, doesn’t begin to capture his allergy to the limelight.

全球第六大科技公司背后的男人并不是个傲慢无礼、穿着连帽衫的年轻人。相反，中国腾讯的创始人、董事长兼首席执行官马化腾更喜欢穿西装。人们总是用“低调”来形容他，但这个词远不足以形容他对聚光灯的不喜。

A key reason for sluggish wage growth is psychological. In the US, baby-boomers and millennials are now the single largest cohorts in the workplace. Most of them just want to hang on to their current position until retirement.

薪资增长缓慢的一个关键原因在于心理。在美国，“婴儿潮一代”和“千禧一代”是职场上最大的两个群体。绝大多数人只想保住目前的岗位干到退休。
