exposition
含义: A clear and detailed explanation or presentation of a subject, theory, or idea; also, the introductory section of a narrative or musical composition that establishes key themes.
Exposition has several specialised uses. In academic and critical writing, it refers to the systematic explanation of a complex idea — a lucid exposition of Keynesian economics. In literary analysis, exposition is the part of a narrative that provides background information before the plot develops. In music, the exposition is the opening section of a sonata or fugue where themes are first presented. In all senses, the word implies clarity and methodical presentation rather than argument or persuasion.
