as用法疑问

As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every dayand, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'.

When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

老师:这是新概念3-12课。

1lobster 可数,为什么这里不加s呢?

2)如何理解这里的as one of them put it - 是插入语吗?尤其是as用法和it指代什么?

3both men 为什么不是 both the two men 呢?

1 lobster的复数可以是lobsters, 也可以是lobster。《柯林斯》Word forms: plural -sters or -ster

2 as one of them put it as比较分句,作补充语,对 'ate like kings'作补充说明。传统语法可以分析为插入语。其中as为连词,put在此意为  to say or express (something),词典例句:As she put it, “You can't please everyone.” 就像某人所说的那样。后面引号内部分是直接引语。it 指代引号内的内容。as分句的方式状语为空位。其实你没有必要细分as分句的成分,记住这个用法就可以了。

3 both men = both the men.
