Mam jeszcze dwa pytania.

1) Wiem, że "apart from" znaczy "oprócz", ale jak należy przetłumaczyć to słówko w tym zdaniu?:

Apart from looking a bit shocked, Goma gave no other sign that there was something wrong.

2) Dlaczego w tym zdaniu powinno być "since" zamiast "due to"?:

Nevertheless Mr Goma is now demand as a celebrity, SINCE hundreds of thousands of people have now watched his television appearance online.

Z góry bardzo dziękuję za pomoc :)
Pozdrawiam.
