The Chinese word "布鲁克林" is formed through a process of phonetic adaptation, where characters are selected based on their pronunciation to closely mimic the sounds of the English name "Brooklyn". Each character corresponds to a syllable: 布 (bù) approximates "Broo", 鲁 (lǔ) captures the "lu" sound, 克 (kè) represents "k", and 林 (lín) echoes "lyn", resulting in a composite that audibly resembles the original while fitting the syllabic structure of Chinese. This approach is standard for rendering foreign place names into Chinese, prioritizing auditory similarity over meaning.
