Hitch your wagon to star. 把你的大车套在星星上。/人要志向远大。
这句话意味着人要有远大理想，要立志超脱一切世俗事物。
Hitch, to fasten something,在这里解释为被钩住；被栓住；被套住。Hitch...to...就是把...系上，栓上。这个词还有多种解释：
(1)a problem that delays something for a short time.故障；障碍。比如说：讨论顺利地结束了。我们可以这样表达：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.求得免费搭车。免费搭车者我们就说：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),是指四轮马车；在英式英语中指(铁路)货车。
大家在使用这个谚语的时候需要特别注意一下，虽然这句话含有人要志向远大的意思，但是也有可能是贬义，即：好高骛远。
