试图行贿遭拒后，途中这把枪从李洋的外套口袋中掉落
根据英国 《每日邮报》报道，22日，因试图贿赂教授获取学位，一名中国留学生被判
入狱12个月；同时，又因其携带仿真枪械，被判6个月监禁。
见到教授后拿出5000英镑
26岁的中国留学生李洋 （音）正在英国巴斯大学就读研究生，专业方向是创新和技术
管理。然而，他的学位论文没有及格，只得到了37分，及格线是40分。当李洋得知这一
消息后，他又错愕又沮丧，马上要求与他的导师安德鲁·格雷夫和助教史蒂夫·谢泼德
会面，商谈他未来该怎么办。
教授为李洋提供了三种选择，但无论李洋怎么选，他都无法如期毕业，必须再读一年。
而延期毕业更会影响到他的签证。李洋原本打算在毕业后将他的签证从学生签证申请升
级成第一类签证。
据布里斯托尔皇家法院，李洋在见到两位导师后就告诉他们：“我是个商人。”随后，
李洋掏出5000英镑现金放在桌上，说： “这是第四种选择。如果你们让我及格并且毕
业，你们就可以拿走桌上的钱。我保证再也不会来烦你们。”
这一招没有起效，教授不肯答应修改李洋学位论文的成绩，还要求他马上离开。在李洋
起身拿外套的时候，一把0.177口径的手枪从他的外套口袋里掉了出来。
父亲是中国政府官员
李洋的律师休·布雷克·詹姆斯辩护称，李洋来自一个比较富有的中国家庭，性格很好
，而他的父亲是一名中国政府官员，同时也是一名商人。当天早上，李洋拿钱出来是为
了和教授一起欢度周末，而不是为了贿赂他们以获取学位。 “李洋已经习惯了随身携
带大量现金。他当天一时冲动把身上的钱都拿出来，这确实让对方感觉荒谬，更对他产
生误会。”
至于那把枪，詹姆斯表示，这把枪是李洋进行瞄准练习时使用的，他觉得把枪随身携带
比放在车里更安全，而且当天他并无意使用这把枪。 “李洋的一项兴趣爱好就是在家
里的花园中练习射击。事发当天，他本打算在与教授会谈后就将枪还掉，所以才会带在
身上，跟这次会谈没有关系。事实上，这把枪是掉落的，而非李洋取出的。”
同样在巴斯大学就读的、李洋的妻子及岳父岳母都出庭为他作证。
试图行贿罪名最终成立
为了核实李洋的论文成绩是否有误，法庭将论文送往牛津大学与剑桥大学检查发现，
37分这个成绩一点都没有错。
据悉，在最后一个学期，李洋并未专心学业，他在上课的同时还在其父亲的公司内上班
，年薪2.5万英镑，还有1.1万英镑的额外奖金。
法官迈克尔·朗曼告诉李洋：“你试图说服一名大学教授修改你的论文成绩，还试图行
贿，这个想法从刚一开始就是错误的。你在那样的情景下拿出大额现金来，我不认为这
是恰当、合时宜的做法。很明显，这样的行为是经过盘算的，是有安排的。而你明知自
己随身携带了一把可以射击的仿真枪械，还让他人看到，给他们带来危险。”
最终，李洋因意图贿赂大学教授而被判一年监禁，同时因携带仿真枪械获刑6个月，两
罪并罚。
李洋是2006年入学的。截至22日审判前，他已经被拘留了5个月。他打算在重获自由后
与妻子返回中国。 | l********u

A failing student who offered his professor ￡5,000 in cash in an attempt to
pass his degree has been jailed for 12 months.
Yang Li, 26, had a loaded replica gun and the money in his pocket when he
went to meet Professor Andrew Graves at the University of Bath, Bristol
crown court heard.
Li had been given a mark of 37% in his dissertation, short of the 40% needed
to pass. Graves told him he could resubmit the 12,000-word essay, appeal
against the mark or accept it and withdraw from the course.
But Li offered a fourth option, the court was told. He told Graves: "I am a
businessman," and placed ￡5,000 in cash on the table in front of him. "You
can keep the money if you give me a pass mark and I won't bother you again,"
Li was alleged to have said.
Graves asked Li to leave but as the student put the money away, a replica
handgun – loaded with six pellets – fell from his pocket to the floor, the
court heard.
The judge, Michael Longman, told Li that the weapon caused fear and alarm to
the professor at the meeting on 23 November last year.
"You attempted to persuade a university professor to behave in such a way
that if it had been successful you would have undermined the integrity of
the universities in the UK and the legitimacy of degrees from universities
here, the University of Bath in particular," Longman said.
"Your bid to achieve a pass mark by offering what was a bribe to your
professor was ill-conceived to the point of being a spectacular mistake and
one which was doomed to fail from the start."
Li, who was studying for a masters in innovation and technology management,
admitted charges of bribery and possessing an imitation firearm. He was
sentenced to 12 months in prison and ordered to pay ￡4,880 in prosecution
costs.
Prosecuting, Mark Hollier said: "The final part of the course is for
students to submit a dissertation of about 12,000 words. That had to be in
by the first week of September. Mr Li's dissertation was submitted that
September last year. It was marked by Professor Graves. The pass mark is 40%
and the mark awarded was 37%."
Li's dissertation mark was checked by external examiners from Oxford and
Cambridge University and found to be correct, Hollier said.
Defending Li, Blake James said his client came from an affluent family in
China where his father was a respected government official and businessman.
He said Li was not a "sham student" and had come to the UK in 2006 to study
for a computer science degree at the University of Bath, which he passed.
Documents show Li was progressing well in his masters course until he failed
the dissertation, James said. At the time of the final module Li was
working for his father's firm – earning ￡25,000 a year with a bonus of ￡
11,000 – as well as studying.
"When he learned of the result of the dissertation it was a bitter blow to
him," James said. "He genuinely felt he had done all right."
James said Li was concerned he would not be able to move from his expiring
student visa to a tier one visa without passing his course. His current visa
has now expired.
He said Li was used to carrying large amounts of cash and had the 0.177 air
pistol, used for shooting practice, in his possession as he did not want to
leave it in the car during the meeting.
Li sobbed in court as the sentence was handed down while his parents, wife
and parents-in-law sat in the public gallery. He plans to return to China
with his wife, also a University of Bath student, after his release. | c******k
