娶 qǔ to take a wife
唐诗 Tángshī Tang poetry
宋词 sòngcí lyric poetry
顶多 dǐngduō at most
娶了中国老婆，就连你好都不用学啦，更不用提什么唐诗宋词。他们顶多学一些好笑的骂人话。
qǔ le Zhōngguó lǎopó ，jiù lián nǐhǎo dōu bùyòng xué la ，gèng bùyòng tí shénme Tángshī sòngcí 。tāmen dǐngduō xué yīxiē hǎoxiào de màrén huà 。
If you marry a Chinese wife, you don't even need to learn Nihao, let alone any Chinese poems. They would just learn some funny curse words.
我看到上海的老外基本上都会住在自己的老外泡沫里。
wǒ kàndào Shànghǎi de lǎowài jīběnshang dōu huì zhù zài zìjǐ de lǎowài pàomò lǐ 。
The foreigners in Shanghai basically live in their own foreigner bubble.
捣浆糊，老北京会说泡蘑菇或者侃大山。

[dǎo jiāng hú], in Beijing dialect we would say [pào mó gū] or [kǎn dà shān].
那我觉得北京的老外跟上海的老外之间的另一种差别是他们在社交网络上发布的内容。
nà wǒ juéde Běijīng de lǎowài gēn Shànghǎi de lǎowài zhījiān de lìng yīzhǒng chābié shì tāmen zài shèjiāo Wǎngluò shàng fābù de nèiróng 。
Another difference between foreigners in Beijing and Shanghai is the content they post on social media network.
