what的用法
The brief weekend respite hadn't provided much relief,what with the laundry that had piled up,not to mention the supermarket and the dry cleaners and the myriad other errands that ate into what was supposed to be our family time together.此句子结构是怎样的?两个what在这里的用法?尤其第一个?

第一个 what with...and(what with) ...半因...半因...what是副词
What with the noise and the heat ,I couldn't sleep well.
半因噪音,半因燥热,我睡得不好.
第二个what引起的句子做前面动词短语 ate into 的宾语.
句子大意是:短暂的周末休息并没有给人们太多的解脱,半因成堆的衣服,更不必提超市和干洗清洁,半因其他许多琐事,吞噬了本应佳人团聚的时间.
