<p>一旦 (yīdàn) is used to express what would happen after a certain
condition is met. Usually it is used with 就. This grammar pattern
expresses that once one thing happens, something else will
happen.</p>
<h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
<p>This structure is similar to the English "once...then," as in
"once the company goes bankrupt, your family will lose all its
money."</p>
<div class="jiegou">
<p>一旦 + Condition，Subj. + 就 + Consequence</p>
</div>
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
<div class="liju">
<ul>
<li><em>一旦</em> 我 找 好 的 工作，我 <em>就</em> 会 安心。<span class=
"trans">Once I find a good job, then I'll be able to
relax.</span></li>
<li>这 张 桌子 不 稳定，<em>一旦</em> 发生 什么 小 小 的 振动，<em>就</em> 会
倒塌。<span class="trans">This table isn't very steady. Once there's
even a small vibration, it will fall over.</span></li>
<li>学习 计算机 科学 的 学生 很 自信，他们 <em>一旦</em> 毕业，<em>就</em> 会 找到 很 好 的
工作。<span class="trans">Computer science students are very
confident. Once they graduate, they will be able to find good
jobs.</span></li>
<li>千万 不 要 在 经济 泡沫 中 炒股，<em>一旦</em> 市场 崩溃，你 会 很 后悔 的！<span class=
"trans">You must absolutely not trade stocks in an economic bubble.
Once the market collapses, you will regret it!</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Notice in the last example there is no 就. Sometimes you can
leave out the 就 and the context that the result will happen is
pretty clear.</p>
