想 + V + 就 + V "if you want to X, then X" (top of page)

(this is glossed as "as one likes," with 就, but I feel like 想 covers the "likes" part and 就 is just doing its normal (?) "then," "→" thing)

打工, to work; 打算, plan (or "be going to"); 打印, to print 打工 dǎgōng, to work; 打算 dǎsuàn, plan (or "be going to"); 打印 dǎyìn, to print

(Googling suggests that 打工 refers to a part-time/casual job, so you wouldn't use it for long-term/full-time work???)

Guardian:
你要是觉得我罩不住特调处，想走就走, if you think I can't keep the SID covered, then if you want to go, go.
打印出来一样很好看呀, it looks just as good as a printed one
当时把他带到这儿来还确实有让他做内线的打算, bringing him here then was indeed a plan to have him be a spy on the inside

Me:
想吃就吃，但是明天就算有胃疼的话也不该给我抱怨。
