pledge to remain firm in one’s determination till one dies (/to one’s last day);pledge to be true to death; swear to be loyal forever ❍ 被吃者也无须在被吃之前，先承认自己之理应被吃，心悦诚服，～。(鲁迅《华盖集》30) And those eaten do not have to admit first that they deserve to be eaten,thatthey are happy to be eatan,and that in this faith they will live and die. ❍ 勇士们一个个～。All the warriors pledged to be true to death.
