＂American officials have clashed in recent days over what to offer Beijing in return for increasing its purchases of American goods and services.

美国官员们最近争论了要卖给北京什么货物和服务。

One issue is whether the United States should relax so-called export controls on certain products and technology, according to two people who were familiar with the negotiations but were not authorized to speak publicly about them. The controls determine where — and in what quantity — products with military applications or advanced technologies, like semiconductors that power smartphones and computers, can be exported to other countries.

一个重要问题是美国是否要放宽某些货物和技术的出口限制，根据两个熟悉这场谈判但没被授权公布内容的人所说。这些限制决定可以向哪里，卖多少，可能被用于军事和先进技术的货物，例如手机和计算机的芯片。

Mr. Mnuchin, who has been leading the negotiations, has pushed for relaxing the rules in order to forestall the possibility of a trade war and secure China’s purchase of additional goods from the United States in the coming years. Mr. Mnuchin’s plan has faced stiff opposition from Defense Department officials, who fear such sales could compromise American national security, one of the people said.＂

Mnuchin，谈判的领导者，主张放松规定来推迟贸易战的可能，并保证中国未来几年的进口。Mnuchin的主要反对者是美国军方，他们担心美国的国家安全问题。
