Examples:

Well I'm already hitched, but I was pretty excited in the run-up to my wedding and I have to say it was a brilliant day. 好吧，我已經結婚了，但是我在準備婚禮的時候很興奮，并且我不得不說那是一個燦爛的日子。

Actually, I'm getting hitched next year. I can't wait to be a wife. I'm really looking forward to married life. 事實上，我打算明年結婚。我等不及成為一個妻子。我真的很期待婚后的生活。

William: What do you think it means to hitch two things together Jean? 珍，你覺得把兩樣東西hitch到一起是什么意思？

Jean: To hitch two things together, that means to join them together, I think. 我想就是把他們連接在一起的意思。
