semi-detached (adj.)
"半联半附"，最初指的是通过隔墙相连但与其他建筑物分离的房屋，始于1845年，来自 semi- + detach (v.)的过去分词。
The "Detached House" bears its peculiar characteristic on its front; it stands alone, and nothing more can be said about it; but with the "semi-detached house" there is a subtle mystery, much to be marvelled at. Semi-detached! Have the party-walls between two houses shrunk, or is there a bridge connecting the two, as in Mr. Beckford's house in Landsdown Crescent, Bath? A semi-detached house may be a house with a field on one side and a bone-boiling factory on the other. Semi-detached may mean half-tumbling to pieces. I must inquire into it. ["Houses to Let," in Household Words, March 20, 1852]
“独立房屋”在其正面具有其独特的特征； 它独立存在，关于它没有更多的话可说； 但是对于“半独立房屋”，有一个微妙的谜团，值得惊叹。半独立！两个房屋之间的隔墙缩小了吗？还是像巴斯兰斯当街的贝克福德先生的房子一样有一座桥连接着两个房屋？半独立房屋可能是一边有田地，一边有煮骨头的工厂。半独立可能意味着快要倒塌了。我必须去了解一下。[“待租房屋”，《家庭用品》杂志，1852年3月20日]
