     提到大會安排二人格劍，似是將緋聞擺上枱，Marina V表示知道中巴是崔建邦前女友，但她向來不喜歡打架，也不會為男人這樣做，通常只有男人為女人打交。 [Literary Cantonese, trad.]

     When mentioning that the organizers arranged for the two of them to have a swordfight, it seems like they were thrown under the bus with the rumour. Marina V indicated that she knows Elizabete Kwong is Amigo Choi's ex-girlfriend, but she never liked to fight and would not do this for a man; usually only men would fight for women.

     Actually, I don't know what they have to do; I just know they don't have to do a thing. The only close contact they have with the candles is holding on to my handmade candles to have a swordfight.
