Inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable all mean certain to happen and impossible to avoid. Inevitable is the most common and neutral, often for a logical result. Unavoidable stresses that outside circumstances force the outcome. Inescapable is the strongest, often figurative, like being trapped in a net.

这三个词都表示某事必然发生、无法躲开，但语气强弱和常见搭配不同：inevitable 最中性常用，多指逻辑上必然的结果；unavoidable 强调是外部情况所迫、身不由己；inescapable 语气最强，带比喻色彩，像是陷入罗网无法脱身。三者在这里只比较这一个义项，没有需要另外说明的其他义项。
