据说是美国海军陆战队的口号.
mess with -- 干涉
the best -- (自称)
mess with the best -- 敢与老子作对
die like the rest -- 死无葬身之地(跟他们一样下场)
完整的全文应该是: If you mess with the best, you will die like the rest.
//以上解释, 不敢肯定. 最好有上下文, 或者请教权威出处.
其他翻译有:
与强者同行,无惧生死。
要做事,就找最优秀的一起干;要死,也一定要选择从容的离开。
跟我叫板,你死定了。
顺我者昌,逆我者亡。
尚无法确定真确的意思和用法.

Go figure
Example 1:Ironically, when asked about improvement, both parties indicated
that they thought communication should be more intense. Go figure!
Example 2: The prepositions are strangely the last thing almost all the children learn in a language. Go figure!
Example 3: Women and children are the first targets of war. Go figure.
Example 4: Go figure: Weight loss is one of the worst reasons for exercise.
Now, if your definitions of "go figure" run along the lines of "wow, isn't that right?" or "who'd have thought?" or "how come", they're all correct.
Think of "go figure" as short for "go and figure it out for yourself". It is used more like an exclamation, though, punctuating an unexpected fact. Oh yeah, that's right.
