如果他的堂兄弟也不去的话，我就不会让彼特去他祖父母家。因为没有同龄人陪伴他会非常难受的。 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.
和堂兄弟们相比，他看上去好像又瘦又矮小，实际上他身体好像又瘦又矮小，实际上他身体非常强壮，生病的次数比他们少多了。 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.
我们与堂兄弟多年不和，最後我们送给他们一张圣诞卡，算是化干戈为玉帛。 After years of quarrelling we at last sent our cousins a Christmas card as an olive-branch.
