eg. In another, toys were placed at the top of a flight of stairs.

eg. But would I ever wanna have these on my feet when I have to rush down a flight of stairs to catch the subway or if I have to quickly cross the road to avoid being seen by my pesky neighbor?

2. in more ways than one
(所說的話)不止一個意思;在很多方面適用
eg. If you back off, give them some time, and live your life, you'll be doing yourself a big favor in more ways than one.

但真正令人感到不安的是,美國似乎正是這些在大海中裸泳的國家之一-而且裸露出的還不止一面。

片刻,一會兒;暫時
eg. All my possessions are for a moment of time.
