그걸 보니까 당시에 상황이 얼마나 심각했는지 더 잘 알 것 같더라

That(It) gave me a (much) better understanding of how serious things were back then 

 

그걸 보니까 일반적인 연쇄살인마가 어떤식으로 형성되는 건지 더 깊이 있게 알게 됐다

This certainly gave me much deeper insight into how a typical serial killer is formed 

 

당시에 제가 살던 집 구조를 좀 알 수 있게 그림을 대충 그려볼게요

To give you an idea of what my house looked like at the time, let me do a quick drawing

A: 다음주부터 Brenda가 널 좀 따라다니도록 할 생각이야
    다 설명할 필욘 없고, 니가 하는걸 그녀가 지켜보게만 해
   그렇게 하면 우리가 여기서 어떻게 일하는지 직관적으로 이해하게 될거같아
   그렇게 하면 더 빨리 배울거라고 생각해. 어떻게 생각해
B: 그런다고(그렇게 한다고 해서) 크게 달라지진 않을 거야.
     그러면 더 지체만 돼
     그래봤자 괜히 일만 더 복잡해져

A: I'm thinking of having Brenda follow you around for the next week or so
    You don't have to explain everything. Just let her watch what you do
    I think that'll give her a much more intuitive understanding of how we work around here.
    I think she'll learn faster that way. What do you think?
B: That wont' make a big difference (make much of a difference)
    That'll only slow things down (That'll only delay the process)
   That'll only complicate things (That'll only make things complicated)

• "That'll only make things complicated" 보단  "that'll only complicate things" 를 더 많이씀 
  ex) 괜히 일 복잡하게 하지마 : Don't complicate things
