Cook意思是煮，goose /ɡus/是鹅。连起来，to cook someone's goose, 可并不是煮鹅的意思，而是指打碎某人的计划，或者毁了一个人的名誉。
例句：
Not only did he break up with her, but he also sent an e-mail to all of their friends about what she's done. That cooked her goose. Her reputation was ruined.
他不仅跟这个女孩分手，而且还给他们俩的所有朋友发电子邮件，告诉大家她的所作所为，彻底坏了这个女孩的声誉。
