Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope. --- Carlye
　　确切地说，人靠希望活着，除了希望，别无所有。---卡莱尔
　　properly means in a proper manner,是指适当地，恰当地。例如：She will have to learn to behave properly.她要懂得检点些。Do it properly or don’t do it at all.要干就得好好干。
　　参考前面一句：Hope is not only a lover's staff, but also human being's staff.
