第317句 间谍大王
The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in World War II and later laid the roots 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...was fascinated with information。spymaster之后跟有定语从句who built the Office of Strategic Services in World WarⅡand 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。
