be about to do sth. when…　 正当……突然

类似的结构还有: be doing sth. when… 正在做……突然……

拓展：as soon as, hardly… when … ; no sooner…than…这三个短语都有“一……就”，“刚刚……就”的意思, 它们的意思相近,因此有时可以互换。例如：

我刚到公共汽车站,汽车就开了

As soon as I got to the bus stop, the bus started.

Hardly had I got to the bus stop when the bus started.

No sooner had I got to the bus stop than the bus started.

但它们之间也有差异，例如，如果从两件事情的间隔时间来说，as soon as较长(A事情发生以后，就做B这件事)， no sooner…than居中(刚做完A这件事，就做B这件事)，hardly…when间隔时间最短(几乎未来得及做完A件事，紧接着就做B这件事)。
