Phrase background
Text The word "background," in this podcast, means the large area of a piece of paper or screen behind what one is reading or looking at: "I like the idea of using a photograph as the background for this flyer, but I'm afraid it will make it difficult to read the text." The word "background" also refers to one's experiences, education, jobs, family, and more: "The company wants to hire someone with a background in international sales." Or, "How do you feel about your son marrying someone with a different religious background?" The phrase "in the background" refers to sounds that one can hear, but are not part of what one is trying to listen to: "Could you please speak more loudly? Your cell phone is picking up a lot of other sounds in the background."
