A.史密斯先生像他的继父一样火箭般地达到了权力的顶峰,但很快就身败名裂。
B.史密斯先生像他的继父一样总爱玩弄权术,很快到了令人仰慕的地位。
C.史密斯先生像他已故的父亲一样扶摇直上到了权力的顶峰,但很快就身败名裂下了台。
D.史密斯先生像他已故的父亲一样以火箭般的速度达到了权力的顶峰,但没过多久也就去世了。
【解析】late father意思是“先父”,即“已故的父亲”rocked to the power字面意思是“以火箭般的速度达到了权力的顶峰”,C项将之译成“扶摇直上到了权力的顶峰”非常准确,而且很符合汉语表达方式;disgrace意思是“耻辱,丢脸的事”,因此0nly fell in disgrace soon afterwards意为“很快就身败名裂下了台”。
