The Chinese word 分布 (fēnbù) means "to distribute" or "to spread out". It is composed of two characters: 分 (fēn), which means "to divide" or "to separate", and 布 (bù), which means "to spread out" or "to arrange". The word 分布 is often used to describe the distribution of people, animals, or things over a particular area. For example, we can say 人口分布 (rénkǒu fēnbù) to refer to the distribution of population, or 动植物分布 (dòngwùzhíwù fēnbù) to refer to the distribution of plants and animals.The word 分布 can also be used in a more abstract sense to refer to the distribution of something over time or space. For example, we can say 时间分布 (shíjiān fēnbù) to refer to the distribution of something over time, or 空间分布 (kōngjiān fēnbù) to refer to the distribution of something over space.The word 分布 is a common word in Chinese and is used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is used to describe the distribution of people, animals, things, and even abstract concepts.
