1. this is because one is looking at the past with fresh eyes and can isolate and, as it were, notice facts with previously existed undifferentiated among a mass of others.

이 문장에서요 as it were 저 부분이 해석이 안되서요. it 가르키는것이one is looking at the past with fresh eyes인거 맞죠?여기서as는 무슨뜻으로 사용되었는지 왜 동사 were 을 사용했는지 이해가 되지 않습니다. , , 로 사용했다는건 추가적으로 무슨말을 하고 싶어서 한것 같은데.....

2. do any words meanings that are predictable- that is, meanings that can be worked out on the basis of the sounds or combinations of sounds that make them up?

이 문장에서that is 다음에 왜 컴마를 사용했나요?

답변 부탁드립니다! :))
