About
The word 布什 is formed through phonetic translation, specifically to represent the sound of the foreign surname "Bush". It is created by selecting two pre-existing Chinese characters, 布 (bù) and 什 (shén/shi), whose combined pronunciation closely approximates the English name. The meaning of the individual characters (e.g., 布 meaning "cloth" and 什 meaning "variety") is irrelevant and disregarded in this context; they function purely as phonetic symbols. This is a standard method for transcribing foreign proper nouns into Chinese.
