-  * **Summary:** Discover the meaning of **设备 (shèbèi)**, a fundamental Chinese noun for "equipment," "device," or "facility." This comprehensive guide explores its definition, character origins, and practical use in modern China, from IT hardware to industrial machinery. Learn the crucial differences between **设备 (shèbèi)**, 设施 (shèshī), and 仪器 (yíqì) through clear explanations and 10 practical example sentences, empowering you to discuss technology and tools like a native speaker. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** shèbèi +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** Equipment, devices, installations, or facilities. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **设备 (shèbèi)** is a versatile, general-purpose word for any physical item—from a small gadget to a large machine—that is installed or prepared to perform a specific function. It's the go-to term for "equipment" in most contexts, covering technology, industry, and daily life. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **设 (shè):** This character means "to set up," "to establish," or "to arrange." It's composed of the "speech" radical 讠(yán) and 殳 (shū), an ancient character for a tool or weapon. Think of it as using words or a plan (讠) to set up a tool or system (殳). +
-  * **备 (bèi):** This character means "to prepare," "to get ready," or "to be equipped." It suggests having all necessary things available and in order. +
-  * When combined, **设备 (shèbèi)** literally translates to "things that are set up and prepared," which perfectly captures the modern meaning of "equipment." +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While **设备 (shèbèi)** is a practical term rather than a deeply philosophical one, its frequent use is a direct reflection of modern China's identity. The nation's rapid development, focus on technological innovation (e.g., 5G, AI), and massive infrastructure projects mean that **设备 (shèbèi)** is a constant topic in news, business, and even daily conversation. +
-In the West, the word "equipment" can sometimes feel strictly industrial or professional. In contrast, **设备 (shèbèi)** is used more broadly and comfortably in everyday life. A Chinese person might refer to their new smartphone, router, and smart speaker collectively as their new **设备 (shèbèi)**, whereas an English speaker might be more likely to say "gadgets" or "devices." This highlights a subtle cultural focus on the functionality and preparedness of items, tying back to the character meanings. The term embodies the spirit of building, modernizing, and "equipping" the nation for the future. +
