rendezvous的注释：

11. A word that refers to the process of bringing two spacecraft together and to a meeting between lovers might be thought to have a source having to do with connection. The history of rendezvous, however, had originally to do with the process of getting to a meeting place. The French word rendezvous, which English borrowed, is made up of the second person plural imperative of the verb rendre, meaning in this case “to present or betake,” and vous, the second person plural reflexive pronoun meaning “yourselves.” The word rendezvous in French denoted the place at which you were supposed to present yourselves or the meeting you were to attend. The first recorded use of the word in English (1591) is for a place where troops are to assemble.
用来指把两个宇宙飞船连接在一起的过程或者情人之间的约会的某个词语可能被认为具有与连接有关的词源。然而，rendezvous 一词的历史最初与前往某个会面地点的过程有关。 Rendzvous 这一英语中借用的法语词语是由意为“出现或去往”的动词 rendre 的第二人称复数的祈使形态以及意为“你们自己”的 vous 的第二人称复数的反身代词构成的。 在法语中，rendezvous 一词指的是你被期望要出现的地方或者你将要参加的会议。 在英语中该词的第一个有记载的用法(1951年）是指军队将要集合的地方
