In view of current experimental constraints on the top-quark mass [ital m][sub [ital t]] and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements [ital V][sub [ital i][ital j]], we study a modified form of the Fritzsch quark mass matrices, in which two nonzero diagonal elements for the charm and strange quarks are introduced as the additional first-order perturbative terms. In a reasonable analytical approximation, this modification can yield the upper bound of [ital m][sub [ital t]] twice as much as that predicted by the Fritzsch [ital Ansatz]. The magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements and the parametrization-invariant measure of [ital CP] violation are restricted very well in terms of ratios of quark masses, and some interesting relations such as [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital u][ital b]]/[ital V][sub [ital c][ital b]][vert bar][sup 2][approx][ital m][sub [ital u]]/[ital m][sub [ital c]], [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital t][ital d]]/[ital V][sub [ital t][ital s]][vert bar][sup 2][approx][ital m][sub [ital d]]/[ital m][sub [ital s]], and [vert bar][ital V][sub [ital u][ital b]][vert bar][approx][vert bar][ital V][sub [ital t][ital s]][vert bar] are obtained to better accuracy.
