13、Hitch your wagon to star. 把你的大車套在星星上。/人要志向遠(yuǎn)大。
這句話意味著人要有遠(yuǎn)大理想，要立志超脫一切世俗事物。
Hitch, to fasten something,在這里解釋為被鉤住；被栓?。槐惶鬃?。Hitch...to...就是把...系上，栓上。這個(gè)詞還有多種解釋：
(1)a problem that delays something for a short time.故障；障礙。比如說(shuō)：討論順利地結(jié)束了。我們可以這樣表達(dá)：The discussion passed off without a hitch.
(2)informal to ask for a free ride from the drivers of passing cars by putting your hat out with your thumb raised.求得免費(fèi)搭車。免費(fèi)搭車者我們就說(shuō)：hitchhiker.
Wagon, a strong vehicle with four wheels, used for carrying heavy loads and usually pulled by horse; a large open container pulled by a train, used for carrying goods. (in BrE),是指四輪馬車；在英式英語(yǔ)中指(鐵路)貨車。
大家在使用這個(gè)諺語(yǔ)的時(shí)候需要特別注意一下，雖然這句話含有人要志向遠(yuǎn)大的意思，但是也有可能是貶義，即：好高騖遠(yuǎn)。
14、I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. ----- Hellman
我不能、也不愿毀滅我的良心去迎合時(shí)尚。----赫爾曼
conscience means the awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one''s conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong,良心就是對(duì)鞭策人行善而非作惡的本能行為在倫理或道德上的意識(shí)。例如：Let your conscience be your guide.讓你的良心指引你。His conscience troubled him after he took the money.他拿了錢以后，他的良心使他不安。我們常說(shuō)的憑良心就是according to one''s conscience,問(wèn)心無(wú)愧是have a clear [good] conscience.
關(guān)于這個(gè)詞，有如下習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)：
A good conscience is a constant feast. (=A good conscience is a soft pillow.)
問(wèn)心無(wú)愧，高枕無(wú)憂。
A guilty conscience is a self-accuser. (=A guilty conscience needs no accuser.)
做賊心虛。
A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. 沒(méi)做虧心事，不怕鬼叫門。
get sth. off one''s conscience 解除良心上的負(fù)擔(dān)
have the conscience (to do; to say sth.) 竟厚顏無(wú)恥到(做、說(shuō)...)
in all conscience 憑良心說(shuō)，真的，的確，一定
make sth. a matter of conscience 憑良心對(duì)待［做］某事
另外在口語(yǔ)中，我們可以說(shuō)My conscience！這表示啊呀！噯！好家伙！(表示驚奇，遺憾等)的意思。
這句格言，其實(shí)說(shuō)的就是一種堅(jiān)韌不屈的性格。
