LEARNING CHUNKS & PARTICLES
vowing solemnly; pledging with utter sincerity and determination
An idiom often used adverbially to modify verbs (e.g., 'vow solemnly / confidently assume'). Frequently used to highlight a contrast or sense of irony between initial confidence and subsequent reality.
once assumed/thought that... (implying the reality turned out otherwise)
A high-frequency pattern for reflection; 'yi wei' carries the pragmatic presupposition that what was assumed does not match reality.
