写作思路：可以写大学的功能主要是培养人才的核心，因为人才培养是服务社会、传承和创新文化的直接表现。大学主要是围绕着人才培养这一职能而展开的，起着保存知识和传播思想与文化知识的作用。
正文：
For universities, talent training is the core, scientific research is
the prerequisite for doing a good job in talent training, and talent
training is the direct expression of serving the society, inheriting and
innovating culture.
对于大学来说，人才培养是核心，科学研究是做好人才培养工作的前提条件，人才培养是服务社会、传承和创新文化的直接表现。
From the rise of higher education to the founding of Berlin University
in 1809, the university mainly focused on the function of personnel
training, that is, through the training of legal, medical and
theological talents, it played the role of preserving knowledge and
disseminating ideological and cultural knowledge. In this process of
hundreds of years, universities are basically in a state of "far away
from the public and have little direct impact on the whole real
society".
从高等教育兴起到1809年柏林大学创建之前，大学主要是围绕着人才培养这一职能而展开的，即通过法律、医学和神学人才培养，起着保存知识和传播思想与文化知识的作用。在这一数百年的过程中，大学基本上是处于一种“远离社会大众而对整个现实社会直接影响不大”的状态。
Scientific research, social service and cultural inheritance and
innovation should be carried out around talent training, which can not
be separated from talent training. Talent training should be realized
through scientific research, social service and cultural inheritance and
innovation.
科学研究、服务社会、文化传承创新应该围绕人才培养而开展，不能脱离人才培养，人才培养要通过科学研究、服务社会、文化传承创新来实现。
Personnel training, scientific research, social service and cultural inheritance and innovation are an organic whole, which should go hand in hand, and can only be relatively independent in a limited degree within the school, and can not be artificially divided and opposed. Any single emphasis on one aspect, intentionally or unintentionally, is narrow and harmful.
人才培养、科学研究、服务社会、文化传承创新四者是一个有机整体，应该齐头并进，在学校内部只能有限程度的相对独立，不能人为制造割裂和对立。任何有意无意单独强调一个方面的做法都是狭隘和有害的。
