英语中表示“一……就……”的含义的表达方式多样多样。现就常见的几种表达方式按其类型加以归纳综述,以期引起读者的注意。
一、用介词表达,常用的介词有:at,on,upon等。例:

3.The whole country plunged into deep sorrow at the news that the President Abraham Lincoln had been assassinated.一听到林肯总统被刺的消息,全国顿时沉浸在悲痛之中。
4.On entering the room,she saw him.一进房间,她就看见了他。
5.Upon my arrival home,I discovered the burglary.一回到家,我就发现家中遭劫。
二、用连词表达,常用的连词有:when,once等。例:
