Resolutely is how you do something when the decision is already made, and you keep going in a firm way. You refuse resolutely, walk resolutely, remain resolutely silent. It is not a sudden burst of energy; it is a settled I will do this. The word sounds a little formal. In everyday talk, firmly often does the same job. Though actually, it can also mean “in a way that leaves no doubt,” even when nobody is moving: he was resolutely against the plan.
堅決地、毅然地
