如果他的堂兄弟也不去的話，我就不會讓彼特去他祖父母家。因為沒有同齡人陪伴他會非常難受的。
I'm not letting Peter go to his grandparents unless his cousins are going too. He would be as miserable as sin without company of his own age.
和堂兄弟們相比，他看上去好像又瘦又矮小，實際上他身體好像又瘦又矮小，實際上他身體非常強壯，生病的次數比他們少多了。
Although he seemed thin and undersized compared with his cousins, he was really as hard as nails and didn't fall ill half as often as they did.
我們與堂兄弟多年不和，最後我們送給他們一張聖誕卡，算是化干戈為玉帛。
After years of quarrelling we at last sent our cousins a Christmas card as an olive-branch.
