Definition: "you are in big trouble" but it can include "you caused yourself big trouble."

Origin: "You're goose is cooked" came from the death of Jan Hus, a Czech priest in the early 14th century. His name resembled the Czech word husa (goose) and he was burnt for some religious reason, therefore his goose was cooked, so to speak.

A

I can not tell you more details. What I can say is that your goose is cooked. Be prepared for the worst.

我无法告诉你更多的细节，只能说你惹上大麻烦了，做最坏打算吧。

B

Their goose is cooked. Stop lingering on the dead project or lamenting the loss! Do we have a plan B?

他们的项目已经无法挽回，别在它上面花功夫感叹或惋惜，还有预备方案吗？

C

You better leave before your goose is cooked.

（最后一句依然留给大家来翻译。）
