About

The Chinese word "好莱坞" is formed by phonetically transliterating the English word "Hollywood", using characters whose pronunciations approximate the original sounds: "好" (hǎo) for "hol", "莱" (lái) for "ly", and "坞" (wù) for "wood", resulting in a combined term that captures the auditory essence of the foreign name.
