A misalliance is a joining that does not fit. In the older, strict use it is a marriage between people whose families, money, or social worlds sit badly together. Older British English used it with a look: someone had married “beneath them,” and that marriage was a misalliance. Though actually, people also stretch it to any partnership that was a poor match — two companies, two ideas, two people who should never have teamed up. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned word. In everyday talk you would more likely say a bad match, or they should never have married.
不當聯姻（原指門不當戶不對的婚事；也可引申成不該結合的夥伴關係）

An unsuitable alliance, especially an unsuitable marriage.
- That twice-flung taunt rankled still. It was monstrous to have been called a snob. A snob!—he, whose readiness to form what would certainly be regarded as a shocking misalliance ought to have stifled the charge, not merely vindicated him from it! He had forgotten, in the blindness of his love, how shocking the misalliance would be. Perhaps she, unloving, had not been so forgetful?
- A misalliance is more shocking to a Frenchman than to an Englishman, and Talleyrand was very French in his appreciation of the importance of family, and in his insistence upon outward correctness of behaviour.
