10至12题请听以下演讲。
Mrs. Herscher and family, honorable guests, good evening. We are assembled here to give recognition to an outstanding member of our community, Harold Herscher. Harold is not only a role model as a husband and father; he has also been a pillar of the town where he was born and grew up. He attended our community college and earned a degree in social services. Afterwards, he chose to remain here among family and friends and contribute his unlimited energy to those around him. In addition to being a full-time teacher at the college, he is also a part-time volunteer fireman, a contribution that once almost took him away from us. He joins a long and noble list of selfless individuals who tried to help others. Accordingly, it is my honor as mayor to award Harold Herscher with our town's Person of the Year Award.
赫许女士及其家人、各位嘉宾，晚上好。我们齐聚一堂是为了表扬我们社区内的一名杰出成员，哈洛德·赫许。哈洛德不只做为丈夫与父亲足堪表率；他也一直是这座他出生成长的小镇的支柱。他就读我们的社区大学，拿到社会服务相关学位。毕业后，他选择与家人朋友继续留在这里，并将他无穷的精力贡献给周围的人。他除了是社区大学的全职教师外，也是兼职医务消防员，有一次还差点因此而丧命。他是众多高贵无私、乐于助人的人们其中的一员。基于上述理由，我身为市长，很荣幸将我们镇上“年度风云人物”奖项颁给哈洛德·赫许。
