Meaning and Usage

"分布" (fēn bù) primarily refers to how something is spread or scattered across a certain area or range. It is often used in scientific, geographic, demographic, or ecological contexts to describe the spatial arrangement of people, plants, animals, or other phenomena.

Common Collocations

Usage Notes

"分布" is a noun or verb phrase and can be used to describe both the state and the action of distribution. It is more formal and specific than general verbs like "散布" (sàn bù, to scatter) and is not used for casual scattering but for systematic or natural spreading.

Avoid confusing "分布" with "" (fēnkāi, to separate) which emphasizes division rather than spatial arrangement.

Summary

Use "分布" when talking about how entities or phenomena are arranged across space or categories, especially in scientific or analytical contexts. It helps convey a clear picture of spatial or categorical spread.
