近期，国家安全机关破获一起我某科研单位工作人员私自拷贝、复制、并向境外间谍情报机关出卖大量国家秘密的间谍案件。
China's national security authorities have uncovered an espionage case involving a researcher from a domestic scientific institution who illegally copied and sold a large amount of state secrets to foreign spy agencies. The individual, surnamed Liu, was convicted of espionage and illegally providing state secrets and has been sentenced to death with lifelong deprivation of political rights, according to an article released by the Ministry of State Security (MSS) on Wednesday.
espionage /ˈespiənɑːʒ/: 间谍行为
刘某，原系我某科研院所助理工程师，自认为遭受不公平待遇没有得到重用和提拔，对单位怀恨在心，选择离职。离职前，他私自拷贝、留存了经手的大量涉密资料，准备伺机报复、要挟领导，这也成为其迈向犯罪深渊的第一步。
Liu, a former assistant engineer at a domestic research institute, was driven by resentment after believing he had been treated unfairly and denied promotions. Before resigning, he secretly copied and retained a large volume of classified materials, intending to use them for retaliation and blackmail, said the MSS article.
离职后，刘某进入某投资机构工作。为了满足贪欲，他不惜严重违反从业准则，借用父母、亲友名义设立多个账户疯狂炒股，多次向亲友借钱甚至利用信用卡非法套现等方式投资高风险金融产品。赌徒心理终至投资失败、债台高筑，巨大的经济压力下，他打起了手中涉密资料的主意，萌生了投敌叛国、倒卖情报的邪念。
