- 1挨家挨戶（的）
House-to-house means doing something by going to one house, then the next, then the next, through a street or a whole area. Police may make house-to-house inquiries after a crime — they knock and ask if anyone saw anything. , census workers, and people looking for a lost pet also go house-to-house. You can put it before a noun (house-to-house searches) or after a verb (they went house-to-house). It sounds a little like the news. Though actually, in everyday talk people often say door-to-door for the same idea, especially for selling. The phrase is recorded from around 1855–1860.
house-to-house 指的是一家接一家地去做某件事，例如沿著一條街，或走遍整個區域。警察破案後會做「house-to-house inquiries」，也就是挨家挨戶敲門問有沒有人看到什麼；競選人員、人口普查員，或找走失寵物的人也常這樣做。它的語氣有點像新聞用語。
它可以放在名詞前，例如「house-to-house searches」（挨家挨戶的搜查），也可以放在動詞後，例如「they went house-to-house」（他們挨家挨戶去了）。口語中表達同樣的意思時，大家常說「door-to-door」，特別是推銷的時候。
