大多数人反对这项提议吗
Language points
against 介词还有触, 碰, 倚, 靠的意思。
如:
Put the piano there, with its back,
against the wall.
把钢琴放在那里,背靠着墙。
Be against doing sth.
反对做某事, 反义词组是 be for doing sth,
赞成某事

All of us are for peace and against war.
我们都赞成和平, 反对战争。
2. I’ve visited a lot of zoos in my life, and I have never seen one I liked or one that was suitable for animals to live in.
(1) be suitable for sb to do sth. 表示 “适合某人做某事”,这里suitable 是suit的形容词形式,表示 “合适的”。

这种竹子不适合给熊猫吃。
This dress suits you very much, but unfortunately it doesn’t fit you.
这套女装款式非常适合你,只可惜大小不合适。
(2)to live in 在此处作animals的后置定语。英语中动词不定式短语做名词定语,放在后面。如:
There is nothing for us to worry about. 我们没有什么可以担心的。
3. The animals are kept in tiny cages.

tiny=little 很小的 ,带有感彩.
区别, the tiny country 国家小 (含可爱的意思)
a small country 小国家(与large country 相对应)
a little boy 爱怜之意,(不含身材矮小)
tiny 和little 常做定语,一般不做表语,small 既可以做定语,也可以做表语。
little 还可表示 “一点点的”,修饰不可数名词。如：
There is a little milk in the bottle.
瓶里有一点点的牛奶。

surprised 在这里是过去分词做形容词。

in surprise 惊奇地
To one’s surprise 使某人惊奇地 如:
