exculpates

Philanthropy no more canonizes the good businessman than it exculpates the bad. In spite of his flaws, Mr Gates is one of the good kind.

慈善事业并不会使好商人圣神化，也不会为奸商开脱罪责。尽管他有许多不足之处，但他是个不错的商人。

philanthropy no more canonises the good businessman than it exculpates the bad.

慈善更多是为坏商人开脱,而非为好商人歌功颂德。
