Note:
(a)
(i) Frankfurt–Hahn Airport
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt–Hahn_Airport
(an international airport in Rhineland-Palatinate; Despite the name, the airport is about equidistant between Frankfurt and Luxembourg [City, capital of Luxembourg] – about 120 km (75 mi) to each city by road)
(ii) Why Hahn?
(A) Hahn, Rhineland-Palatinate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahn,_Rhineland-Palatinate
(The name Hahn is well known as being the name shared with Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, which arose after 1993 from the United States Air Force's Hahn Air Base once the Americans had withdrawn; "The placename Hahn, originally written Hagene (1120), and later also Haan, Han, Hane, and Hain, originally meant, according to the Rhenish toponym researcher Heinrich Dittmaier, 'wattled fence,' then later 'enclosed dwelling place' ")
* This is wattle (construction).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattle_(construction)
(B) The airport is actually not in Hahn, but within the neighboring
Lautzenhausen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lautzenhausen
("Great parts of the municipal area are covered by Frankfurt-Hahn Airport * * * Until the 1950s, the village was characterized by agriculture. This changed when the air base – now a civil airport – was built. It was first planned by the French in 1946, but was, however, subsequently built by the Americans. They named it 'Hahn Air Base' after nearby Hahn because, as a local joke had it, they could not pronounce 'Lautzenhausen' ")
(C) The German surname Hahn is "from Middle High German hane rooster." (A different etymology, that is.)
(b) "国际会计师事务所毕马威(KPMG)的上海办公室在莱茵兰-普法尔茨州政府的委托下,负责调查上述两家上海公司。评估结果认为这两家公司皆具可信度。如今美因茨的州议会议员将审视这份评估报告,而且肯定会严格检查毕马威公司将其评估为可信的原因。"
(i) Rhineland-Palatinate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhineland-Palatinate
(Capital Mainz)
* Electoral Palatinate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Palatinate
(1085–1803)
(ii) Mainz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainz
(famous as the home of the invention of the movable-type printing press [Gutenberg printed Bible in early 1450s]; on the west bank of the river Rhine, opposite the confluence of the [river] Main with the Rhine; "Linguistic analysis of the many forms that the name 'Mainz' has taken on make it clear that it is a simplification of Mogontiacum[, Roman name for the town]. The name appears to be Celtic and ultimately it is")
