Explanation: In the late 1700s, New Orleans was one of the United States' most important ports, since it was a city next to the water where ships or large boats could come and go.
解釋：18世紀末，新奧爾良是美國最重要的港口之一，因為它是一個近水的城市，那里可供大小船只進出。
The United States used New Orleans to transport (or move) food and other products, but the city didn't belong to the U.S.
美國利用新奧爾良運送（或搬運）食品和其他產(chǎn)品，但該城市卻不屬于美國。
New Orleans first belonged to Spain and then to France.
新奧爾良最初歸西班牙所有，然后歸法國所有。
This was a problem for the United States, because if those other countries decided to block (or not allow) America's access to New Orleans, the country wouldn't be able to send and receive the things it wanted to buy and sell.
這對美國來說是一大問題，因為如果其他國家決定阻止（或不允許）美國進入新奧爾良，那它將無法運送和接收它想要買賣的物品。
So, when Thomas Jefferson was president, the United States negotiated (or reached an agreement) with France to buy New Orleans.
因此，當托馬斯·杰斐遜是總統(tǒng)的時候，美國與法國就購買新奧爾良一事進行了協(xié)商（或達成了協(xié)議）。
The negotiators were prepared (or ready) to buy New Orleans for $10 million.
談判代表預備（或準備）以1000萬美元購買新奧爾良。
