There already is an entry for the reading pu1 chen5, but it seems another entry is needed. GF makes the distinction pu1 chen4 / pu1 chen5, and gives this sample sentence for the former:
有了次要人物的铺衬, 主人公的形象更加突出。
----------------------------------------

Editor: "set off" is a pretty ambiguous definition :-)

‘they set off together in the small car’
‘any rental paid must of course be set off against any income tax payable’
‘I came downstairs in a mint green maxi-dress, set off nicely by my new white bag’
‘police do not know how the bomb was set off’
etc.

但如果我們的平庸能鋪襯出偉大的詩人和不朽的詩歌,那也是一件值得欣慰的事。

列舉人生中的四大樂事,其實前三句都是給金榜題名做鋪襯的。
