And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences - or invent them where they did not previously exist.

词汇：

1. easiest 不是 easist

2. segment 划分，区分

3. magnify 放大

   gender differences 性别差异：本来男女消费者差异只有一点点。

   营销人员把它扩大：“男性应该买这个。”“女性应该买那个。”

   这就是 magnify gender differences。

4. invent 创造，发明

语法：

1. ways (to segment a market) 不定式作后置定语修饰前面的ways

2. or invent them where they did not previously exist. 作为破折号引导的并列补充

   them指代前面的 gender differences

   where they did not previously exist 状语从句，因为名词性从句：前面应该要缺少成分；定语从句：前面要有表示地点的名词，都没有说明这是个状语从句

   翻译为在什么地方，这里的they也是指代前面的gender differences

划分市场最简单的方法之一，就是放大性别差异，或者在原本不存在性别差异的地方创造出这种差异

It is hard to shove for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure projects, so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.
