【正确答案】 The Premier, on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council, expressed regard for the people affected by the floods, as well as for the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers, the armed police and the public security forces who are battling the raging waters to rescue residents.

【答案解析】 “慰问”是很难译好的，好像英语中没有一个完全对等的词。在这个上下文中，译成了express regard，意思接近于“表示问候”。根据不同情况，有时把“慰问”译成express sympathy and solicitude或express concern也是可以的。例如：The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council also sent a message on Wednesday, expressing their deep sympathy and sincere solicitude for the quake victims.
