P240
There was a knock on the door. It was still going to be a little time before he didn't leap up and stand at the end of the bed and wait for the door to be opened.
I have never met such structure as 'before he didn't', is there any special meaning? Are you emphasizing the courtesy of the porter?
About Me
- Vera
- China
- I'm currently translating a novel by Jeffrey Archer: The Prisoner of Birth, during the process of which I ran across many problems as I've no living experience abroad(outside mainland China). I found Jeffrey's official blog here and therefore would like to post my puzzles here, hoping for some help. You may also consider some entries as my impressions of this novel.
A Prisoner of Birth

Translation to us, a delicious torment.
