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?。槐凰ㄗ?；被套住。Hitch...to...就是把...系上，栓上。這個詞還有多種解釋：
(1)a problem that delays something for a short time.故障；障礙。比如說：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.求得免費搭車。免費搭車者我們就說：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；在英式英語中指(鐵路)貨車。
大家在使用這個諺語的時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,良心就是對鞭策人行善而非作惡的本能行為在倫理或道德上的意識。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。我們常說的憑良心就是according to one''s conscience,問心無愧是have a clear [good] conscience.
關(guān)于這個詞，有如下習(xí)慣用語：
A good conscience is a constant feast. (=A good conscience is a soft pillow.)
問心無愧，高枕無憂。
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.) 竟厚顏無恥到(做、說...)
in all conscience 憑良心說，真的，的確，一定
make sth. a matter of conscience 憑良心對待［做］某事
另外在口語中，我們可以說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，其實說的就是一種堅韌不屈的性格。
