invariably

[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。
