如何翻译这段英文？

Question

He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country

Answer 1

he had hardly had time to ...

第一个had是过去完成时

第二个had是“有”的过去分词形式

...settle down when he sold the house and left the country.

“他卖掉房子接着离开这个国家” 与 “他没有时间安顿下来”是平行的关系，
“when”在句中起到连接作用，这与书中的译文意思不违背。
