英语语法问题
In today's shrinking world,students are increasingly aware that a university is not an ivory tower of learning,cut off from the real problems of the world,but on the contrary,can itself be an agent for change for a better world.
最后一截是倒装吗,正常语序是怎样的,可以这样倒装吗,怎么翻译

个人觉得,大概意思是：在当今世界,越来越多的学生开始意识到,大学并不仅仅是一所用于学习的象牙塔,一座与现实问题完全隔绝开来的象牙塔.相反地,大学是可以为争取创造更美好的未来而进行自我管理,自我蜕变的地方.（反正就是说大学可以有些积极作用的）
cut off from the real problems of the world
这里应该相当于 which is cut off from the real problems of the world,来修饰那个ivory tower的
but on the contrary,can itself be an agent for change for a better world.
应该是but on the contrary,it/ the university can itself be an agent for change for a better world.=it/ the university can be an agent for change for a better world itself
大学可以自己干什么什么
应该是省略了主语It,不是倒装句的吧
再问： 可以这样省略的吗
再答： In today's shrinking world,students are increasingly aware that a university is not an ivory tower of learning,cut off from the real problems of the world,but on the contrary,can itself be an agent for change for a better world. 有吧，平时也有看到过有些表示同一主语的句子，把主语给省略了，直接接动词 I will not go to the cinema, but will go to the zoo. 有些把相同的主语和谓语都省略了 He can play basketball and play volleyball.=He can play basketball and he can play volleyball. 例子有点烂。。不过一时间想不出什么好的例子，反正就是有些句子是省略相同主语，有些是省略相同的主谓 所以我觉得这里是 a university is not an ivory tower of learning，but on the contrary, it / a universtiy can itself be an agent for change for a better world. 都是说那大学的，所以就a university is not..... but on the contary, can do sth. 省略相同的主语 不过，还是我个人感觉而已，仅供参考啦
再问： can itself be不是倒装吗
再答： 其实，我觉得， can itself be an agent for change for a better world.就是 can be an agent for change for a better world itself. can do sth. itself 自己干。。。 就是Itself的位置变化了，有点不大常见，不过意思还是一样的 像有些副词那样，也是经常位置有点变动的， I will definitely do sth.= I definitely will do sth. 感觉上就是位置变化了，起到了一定的强调作用 你说的那种有can的倒装，一般都是在only in this way can he do sth. hardly can she do sth. 那类型的题中才出现的can,那里是因为前面有hardly, only in this way 这些比较标志性的词，一般后面就用部分倒装来表示强调作用。 而这里的 sth. can itself do sth.= sth. can do sth. itself 这里的can 就是平时的“能够”，不用什么特殊变化了，这里应该就是itself位置变化了点
