Yo, you guys here for the poetry slam?

- 哟，你们是来参加诗歌大满贯赛的吗？

They could be hosting open-mic nights or poetry slams.

You think Jason goes to some of those poetry slams?

你认为杰森会参加一些诗歌大满贯吗？

If you wanna hear it, I will be reading my next poetry slam.

如果你想听 我会在下次诗歌交流会上朗诵的。

Others hold forth at open-mike poetry slams, wearing black turtlenecks and wrinkled khaki pants; they spout doggerel about “my angry lesbian breasts” and “the tilted alley where I cried my mother's name.”

还有些坏作家出现在大众诗歌会上，身穿黑色高领衫、皱巴巴的卡其裤，冲口而出的打油诗说的都是“我愤怒的女同性恋的乳房”还有“在那崎岖的小巷里我大喊母亲的名字”这种调调。

And if you win a poetry slam, you can call yourself a slam champion and pretend you're a wrestler, and if you lose a poetry slam you can say, " Oh, what? Poetry's a subjective art form, you can't put numbers on such things."

如果你赢了一场诗歌会， 就能给自己冠名 诗歌会冠军，好像摔跤选手一样；如果你输了呢，也可以说 “哦，什么？诗歌是一种主观的艺术形式，你可不能用数字得分去衡量它。”
