The Chinese word "盎格鲁撒克逊" is formed via phonetic translation, directly approximating the sounds of the English term "Anglo-Saxon" using characters that mimic its syllables: "盎" (àng) for "Ang", "格鲁" (gé lǔ) for "glo", and "撒克逊" (sā kè xùn) for "Saxon", with each character chosen solely for its phonetic value.
