We 'make' an appointment because we are creating or arranging it. You can also 'book an appointment' (especially British English) or 'schedule an appointment' (especially American English), but never 'do an appointment'.

我们'make'预约是因为我们在创建或安排它。也可以说'book an appointment'（尤其是英式英语）或'schedule an appointment'（尤其是美式英语），但不能说'do an appointment'。

Usamos 'make' con appointment porque estamos creando o concertando la cita. También se puede decir 'book an appointment' (sobre todo en inglés británico) o 'schedule an appointment' (sobre todo en inglés americano), pero nunca 'do an appointment'.

予約を「make」すると言います。予約を作成・手配するからです。「book an appointment」（特にイギリス英語）や「schedule an appointment」（特にアメリカ英語）とも言えますが、「do an appointment」とは言いません。

예약을 만들거나 정하는 것이기 때문에 'make' an appointment이라고 합니다. 'book an appointment'(특히 영국 영어)이나 'schedule an appointment'(특히 미국 영어)라고도 할 수 있지만, 'do an appointment'라고는 절대 하지 않습니다.
