英语翻译
The American university is a direct descedant from the ancient universities in Europe.These are the oldest instititions,aside from the church itself,in western civilization.They have survived many periods of trouble,of revolution,and of persecution(迫害).But the tradition of learning and scholarly inquiry has lived on.
Yet there are shortsighted people today who are saying that the modern university has outlived its usefulness,and that it must be overthrown and replaced by something else whose nature is unspecified.
Remember,however,that there have been many occasions during the last 700 years when people said that universities were irrelevant or that it was wrong for them to pursue long-term goals in the face of immediate and pressing problems.Fortunately,there have been stout-headed souls who argued that the search for knowledge would never be outdated by current events and we can all be eternally thankful that the forces of ignorance were so often defeated.They must now be defeated again.
Knowledge and the search for knowledge have persisted through the centuries to the enormous benefit of human beings.The world may be troubled and distressed today but it should be thought how much better off the people in this country are now than they were 50 years ago or 100 years ago and how much better off they are than the millions of people in countries which have not benefited from the progress of knowledge.We in the western world have encouraged scientific discovery and its application intensively for 200 years to our vast material benefit.Today we are at a turning point.We can now use our stores of wealth and of knowledge as tools to solve the new problems which now beset (包围) our modern society.

美国大学是直接从欧洲古老的大学后裔.这是最古老的i机构,在西方文明中,除了教会本身.他们经受了许多革命时期的麻烦和迫害.但传统的学习和学术探究生活.
然而,有目光短浅的人今天说,现代大学已经失去其实用性,它必须被推翻,取而代之的是别的东西,其性质是不确定的.
但是请记住,曾有多次在过去的700年,当人们说,大学是无关的或他们追求长远目标,在面对立即和紧迫的问题,这是错误的.幸运的是,有力为首的灵魂,他认为知识搜索永远不会过时,由目前的事件,我们都可以永远感谢无知的力量,所以常常击败.他们现在必须再次击败.
知识和对知识的搜索坚持通过几个世纪以来人类带来巨大的利益.世界可能是困扰和苦恼,但它应该想到如何更好地关闭在这个国家的人民现在比50年前或100年前,多少好他们比国家有千百万人没有知识的进步得益于.我们在西方世界,鼓励科学发现和应用了200多年,深入到我们的巨大的物质利益.今天,我们正处在一个转折点.现在我们可以用我们的财富和知识的商店作为工具来解决现在困扰现代社会的新问题.
