vocabulary简明 When you're watching a movie, you can describe what's happening up close to the camera as being in the foreground.
vocabulary扩展 The foreground is the opposite of the background, which is the part of a photograph, painting, or scene that's farthest away from you. Some photographers tend to focus sharply on the foreground while letting the rest of the picture go blurry. The noun foreground was first used specifically for talking about painting, and it came from fore, "before" or "in front," and ground, or "foundation."
