完蛋了。

Explanation:
"Stick a fork in me, I'm done" 这个英文短语在中文中可以表达为“我认输了”、“我放弃了”或者“我受够了”。这个表达通常用来描述某人在面对困难或挑战时感到无法继续下去，决定放弃或停止尝试的情况。这个短语的字面意思是“给我叉子吧，我已经完了”，源自于烹饪中用叉子戳食物来表示它已经煮熟可以上桌的动作，比喻说话者在面对的问题上感到“完蛋了”或“受够了”。在中文中，可以用类似的说法来表达这种情绪，例如“我已经无能为力了”或“我不想再继续了”。

Notes to answerer

Asker: fork在开源领域多指分叉版，是不是应该把这层本意翻译出来？

用叉子插在我身上(Stick a fork in me.), 這句英文是什麼意思呢?
Ans: 我工作完成了!
(雙關語,把自己比喻成肉, 因為煮肉時,習慣會用叉子fork去試試肉是否可以吃了)
(例) Stick a fork in him. He's done.

- stick a fork in -

当你听到外国朋友对你说， You can stick a fork in me! 的时候，可别真的拿起叉子戳人家！这个短句的意思，其实是“我已经好了！”。

这个短句是从烹煮肉类衍生出来的。当西方人在烤肉或者煮肉时，会把叉子插进肉里确认肉熟了没有。所以 stick a fork in 就是形容事情完成了的意思。

当老板问你， How much time do you need to complete the PowerPoint? 你还要多长时间来完成ppt？你可以这么回答： You can stick a fork in me! 我已经做完啦！
