雪梨表现得比平常更加放松了。（言谈举止啊什么的多个方面都显得放松，不是单指一个方式/方面，譬如，仅仅说话放松，而是多个方面，譬如说话啊，动作等等多方面）

6 |& b" s# x) G4 f2 E- c"in more ways than one" 是一个英语短语，意思是 "在很多方面" 或 "有很多种理解方式"。这个短语通常用来表示一个事物具有很多方面或者层面，而不只是表面上看起来的那一种。它也可以用于指出一个观点或说法有多种解释或意义。例如，"这个问题影响深远，它会影响到我们的生活方式，在很多方面都会产生影响，可以说是 in more ways than one。"
3 w: {+ V% ?1 M6 p"Sherly let her hair down in more ways than one" 这个句子是一个英语俚语，意思是Sherly不仅仅在一个方面放松了自己，而是在多个方面都表现得比平常更放松自在了。具体来说，“let one's hair down”是一个俚语，意思是放松、放松警惕、放开自己，不拘束自己的行为和言行。所以这个句子的意思是Sherly在多个方面都表现得比平常更加自由、放松、不受拘束。

楼上解释的很清楚

但解释的不对

sabrina2111

我要是照字面意思翻译了，楼主又要说为什么不是“把头发放下“的意思了吧。 好吧，这句我翻成“Sherly 把头发放下来，表现得随意而放松“
