     葉劉此語，好似變相承認自己當年經常抵唔住頸，甚至發言時動氣畀人捉到金句。

     In saying this, it is as if Regina Ip was covertly confessing that she often couldn't restrain herself back then, and when she spoke, she, in her anger, would even be caught with catchphrases.

     而論到身材，Capri上圍斤両雖然唔多夠，但係勝在抵得住頸，冇學埋其他脫星一樣去隆胸，所以依然保持到身材嘅自然美。

     When it comes to her physique, even though Capri's bust size isn't all that enough, what's good about her is that she was able to hold back and not get a boob job like the other strippers, so she could still keep the natural beauty of her physique.
