"Break a leg" is an idiom in theatre（剧院） used to wish a performer "good luck" in an ironic（反语的，讽刺的） way. Well-wishers（（以行动）表示祝愿者） typically say "Break a leg" to actors and musicians before they go on stage to perform. The origin of the phrase remains obscure.

关于这个俚语的来源，并没有一个很明确的说法。

There are two interesting speculations（推测） that you may want to know. 

• In earlier times, actors wished one another “may you break your leg”, in the hope that the performance would be so successful that the performer would be called forth to take a bow — to bend his knee.

早先，演员们在上台之前会对彼此说一声“break a leg”，是希望演出会大获成功，因为只有演出成功，演员们才会齐聚台上给观众鞠躬（take a bow），也就必须屈膝行礼（bend one's knee）

• At one time audiences showed their appreciation by throwing money on the stage; to pick the coins up, actors had to break their legs, that is, kneel or bend down.

观众们一度靠往舞台上扔钱来表达他们对表演者的欣赏和认可，演员们必须屈膝来拾起舞台上的硬币。

fingers crossed，字面意思“手指交叉”，是“希望有好运”“保佑”这层意思。

An expression of hope that something one desires will come to pass or turn out to be true. A truncated（缩短的）version of the phrase "keep your fingers crossed."
