2017考研英语长难句分析每日一句(115)
The American spymaster who built the Office ofStrategic Services in World War II and later laid theroots for the CIA was fascinated with information.
译文:这位美国间谍大王对情报着迷,他曾在二战期间建立了战略服务处,后来又为中央情报局打下基础。
点睛:本句的主干为The American spymaster...wasfascinated with information。spymaster之后跟有定语从句who built the Office of Strategic Services in WorldWarⅡand later laid the roots for the CIA。root本义指“(植物的)根”,也指“根基;基础”。lay the roots for指“为…打下基础”,类似lay a (the) foundation for sth.。fascinate意为“使着迷;使神魂颠倒”,其常见搭配为:be fascinated with sb./sth.。例如:
I watched her, fascinated.
我看着她,完全被她迷位了。
He was fascinated with her smiles.
他为她的微笑而着迷。
fascinate的形容词是fascinating,名词是fascination。
