Go是“去做”，broke是“破产的”，这个短语是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: The Garfield Run is going to start at the Shenzhen Universiade Center in March. Let’s go and have fun.

    B: Bravo. All my friends are ready to go for broke at the race event.

    Note: This idiom means “to go all out,” “to risk everything,” “to try as hard as possible even if it means losing everything.” When a person goes for broke, it means they are going to take a risk, a risk that may leave them broke, without any money.

    The phrase is believed to have originated from gambling, where people bet their money in hopes of winning more. Wikitionary claims that the idiom comes from “Hawaiian Pidgin craps slang,” where the participating players would wager everything on a single roll of the dice. Thus, the players were going for broke in the sense that they were putting everything on the line, win or lose, based on that one roll. They would be broke if they lost.
