Luckily, her figure is not great, so there's not much to see.

佢 根本 唔 明白 分居 同 離婚 嘅 分別 。 He|basically|not|understands|separation|and|divorce|possessive particle|difference She fundamentally doesn't understand the difference between separation and divorce. 分居 即 係 兩個 國家 關係 惡化 ，降為 代辦 級 ，即 係 仲 係 有 啲 關係 。 separation|that|is|two|countries|relationship|deteriorated|downgraded to|consular|level|that|is|still|is|have|some|relationship Separation means the relationship between two countries has deteriorated, downgraded to a consulate level, meaning there is still some relationship.

老婆 ，都 係 叫 佢 阿 Ann 啦 。 wife|also|is|called|her|||sentence-final particle Wife, just call her Ann. 佢 打電話 返 嚟 ， 話 漏 套衫 無帶 ， 佢 暗示 自己 外 家住 得 好 舒服 。 She called back and said she forgot to bring her sweater, hinting that she is very comfortable living at her parents' place.

我 專登 放 套 鹹 帶 ，扭 大聲 啲 俾 佢 聽 。 I|deliberately|put|set|salty|belt|twist|loud|more|to|him|hear I purposely played a salty song loudly for her to hear.

佢 竟然 以為 係 我度 唉聲嘆氣 喎 。 he|actually|thought|at|my place|sighing|particle indicating realization or confirmation She actually thought I was sighing and complaining.
