I don't think Brian particularly likes his cousin(表兄).

　　There have been hard feelings between them for years.

　　他们的关系好几年都是这个样子的了。

　　Cousin这个单词是给我的印象非常深刻，大一时我第一次到学校外事处拜访外国留学生时候，窘迫的什么都说不出来，只是干干巴巴的说了几句不咸不淡的问候话，其中有一句是：

　　I have an older cousin/我有一个堂哥。

　　当时那个美国朋友就对我说：

　　"You know, Brian, when the other students tell me in terms of their family, they always say 'brothers' like that, you are the first student who use 'cousin' and so I can suppose that you do have some larger vocabulary(词汇量)"。
