十年来，说唱歌手耐利每年供两个孩子上大学
In the age of social media and 24-hour news coverage, it's almost unheard of for a celebrity to do something without the whole world knowing about it. We know when they go to the grocery store, we know what kind of latte they ordered at Starbucks, we know their kids' names and the toys they play with. We can even see pictures of them on vacation.
在社交媒体和24小时新闻报道的时代，一个名人在全世界都不知道的情况下做一些事情，几乎是闻所未闻的。我们知道他们什么时候去杂货店，我们知道他们在星巴克点了什么拿铁，我们知道他们孩子的名字和他们玩的玩具，我们甚至可以看到他们度假的照片。
Yet somehow in the midst of all this media attention, one celebrity has managed to do something amazing — he has kept his incredible acts of charity private. Rap star Nelly has been sending two kids to college every year for the past 10 years. And no one knew a thing about it.
然而，不知为何，在媒体的关注下，一位名人却做了一件令人惊讶的事——他将自己的慈善行为保密。在过去的10年里，说唱明星耐利每年都供两个孩子上大学。没有人知道这件事。
In a recent interview with Hello Beautiful, Nelly shared his concerns about the recent issues facing the black community. The St. Louis rapper explained that he saw education as the solution that could invoke real change.
在最近接受Hello Beautiful采访时，耐利表达了他对黑人社区最近面临的问题的担忧。这位圣路易斯的饶舌歌手解释说，他认为教育是一个可以带来真正改变的解决方案。
“I try to do it through education," Nelly explained. "We have to get the kids to go out of these communities. Graduate. Get the knowledge. Come back to the community and then they can run it because they understand the people and understand the severity of the situation.”
“我试着通过教育来做到这一点，”耐利解释道，“我们得让孩子们离开这些社区，毕业，获取知识，然后回到社区去管理，因为他们了解这里的人，了解情况的严重性。”
As for why he has kept his educational scholarships under the radar, Nelly remarked that it's about making a change, not making an impression.
至于他为什么不让别人注意到他的教育奖学金，耐利说，这是为了做出改变，而不是给人留下印象。
“It’s not about the hoo-ha,” he says. “It’s about the silent assassins. It’s the ones that move behind the scenes that get things done. The guy that’s screaming on television, he’s the diversion. I’m not a diversion. I’m going to get it done.”
他说：“这不是闹着玩的，是关于沉默的行动者的。是那些在幕后行动的人把事情做好的，而那只会在电视上喊口号的家伙，就是为了转移注意力。我不是在转移注意力，我要把事情做好。”
