Long explanation:
The Mandarin Chinese grammar structure '一旦...就...' is used to denote a cause-and-effect relationship, where, once a certain condition is met, a certain result will follow. In English, this would be akin to the 'Once... then...' structure. It is usually used when the event is somewhat unexpected, inevitable, or irreversible.
