说真话，真不知道为什么，一见到沈教授就有一种...一见如故的感觉, to tell the truth, though I really don't know why, as soon as I saw you I had a feeling of...of deja vu.

... Is this another one that's just entirely context-dependent re: whether it's 'every time...' or 'as soon as...'?

[nnozomi]

...yeah, I think so? I seem to think of them as related uses, where "every time" is just "as soon as" generalized as a habit, but I'm not sure that makes sense.

[trobadora]

This makes sense to me; I see it the same way!

[elenothar]

It doesn't entirely to me, but that might just be a failing on my part 😅

[nnozomi]

I don't think it's a failing! Just different brains working different ways...
