The Chinese word 预备 (yùbèi) is composed of two characters: 预 (yù) and 备 (bèi). The character 预 originally meant "to prepare" or "to make ready", and it is often used in the sense of "in advance" or "beforehand". The character 备 originally meant "to provide" or "to equip", and it is often used in the sense of "to be prepared" or "to be ready". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 预备, which means "to prepare" or "to make ready". This word is often used in the context of preparing for an event or a task, and it can also be used in the sense of "to be prepared" or "to be ready".
