近日，中国一家法院以间谍罪和偷卖国家机密情报判处一名前科研单位工作者死刑。据悉，这名罪犯已向境外间谍机关售出数万份机密情报，其中包括90条国家绝密情报。
A Chinese court sentenced a former scientific researcher to death for espionage and selling state secrets. He has sold tens of thousands of copies of classified information to foreign spy agencies, including 90 top state secrets.
这名男子名叫黄宇，1974年7月28日出生于四川省自贡市。他在大学中学习的是计算机科学专业，并在1997年开始就职于中国通信加密研究所。
The man, named Huang Yu, was born on July 28, 1974 in Zigong, Sichuan province. He majored in computer science in college and worked for a Chinese traffic encryption institute since 1997.
据悉，该研究所为中国共产党和中国军方提供安全通信服务。黄宇因怀疑自己可能因为工作表现不佳而被解雇，于是从28岁时就决定开始售卖情报。
The Institute is said to have provided secure communication service for the Communist Party of China and the Chinese military. Suspecting that he might be fired from his job because of his poor performance, Huang decided to start selling secrets at the age of 28.
有一天，黄宇在网络上与境外间谍机关取得了联系，卖出他工作中所获得的涉密信息，并于六月在一东南亚国家的一家酒店面见了一名外国间谍。
One day, Huang contacted a foreign spy agency online to sell the confidential information he acquired at work, and he met a foreign spy in a hotel in a Southeast Asian country in June.
在黄宇2011年被关押之前，他利用职权复制包括绝密的军方情报在内的机密信息。他以参加海外会议为由与外国间谍会面共21次。十年间他通过这样的勾当一共受到了70万美元的补偿。
Before Huang was detained in 2011, he used his position to make copies of secret documents, including top military secrets. He met with foreign spies 21 times under the cover of attending conferences overseas. He received $700,000 in compensation over the course of 10 years.
2004年，在他离开研究所后，黄宇还企图策反老同事加入不法勾当。此外，他还通过同在涉密单位工作的妻子和姐夫获取机密情报。他们最终都被公安机关于2011年抓获。
Huang tried to convince his old colleagues to come in on the operation with him after he left the institute in 2004. He also used the access of his wife and brother-in-law to acquire confidential information. They were eventually caught by public security authorities in 2011.
黄宇的妻子被判五年有期徒刑，姐夫被判三年有期徒刑，二人都因泄露国家机密获罪。在黄宇的不法交易中涉及的另外29人也都受到了惩处。
Huang's wife was sentenced to five years in prison while his sister's husband received three, both for leaking national secrets. Another 29 people involved in Huang's operation were also punished.
