right in right 的意思

5. Because if they don't awake, they're going to find out that this little Negro that they thought was passive has become a roaring, uncontrollable lion right in right at their door—not at their doorstep, inside their house, in their bed, in their kitchen, in their attic29, in the basement. 
(Malcolm X. 28/06/64)

   这显然是个错误, 可能是排版错误。应该是a roaring, uncontrollable lion right at their doorstep, 波折号后进一步说明不是在门口,而是在屋里,在床上,在厨房,在阁楼,在地下室。英语里没有right in right 这样的表述。

right and right at their door = right at their door

重复是为了加重强调。
