{词义辨析}
background, backdrop, environment, setting
这组词的共同意思是表示现实生活中或文艺作品中有关人及他们的行动背景，其区别是：
background表示“背景”，原指灯光昏暗的舞台背景，或画面深处的背景，引申指某件事的综合背景。
environment 表示“环境”，尤指自然环境，用于人或生物时不仅指自然环境，还指能影响其身体、精神和道德发展的一切外部因素，如果影响一个人成长的因素是遗传或先天 的，多用background，如果这个因素是环境造成或后天习得的，就用environment。
setting多指小说、戏剧或其他文学作品的“背景”，包括人物活动的时间、地点和条件；在现实生活中，指以艺术的眼光看待人类及其活动所取的立场。
backdrop表示“背景”，原指舞台后部放下的幕布，为演员的演出提供背景；用于引申意义，当强调生动效果，而不过多考虑社会影响或精神意义时，人们越来越多地用backdrop取代background和setting。
