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.
解释：18世纪末，新奥尔良是美国最重要的港口之一，因为它是一个近水的城市，那里可供大小船只进出。
The United States used New Orleans to transport (or move) food and other products, but the city didn't belong to the U.S.
美国利用新奥尔良运送（或搬运）食品和其他产品，但该城市却不属于美国。
New Orleans first belonged to Spain and then to France.
新奥尔良最初归西班牙所有，然后归法国所有。
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.
这对美国来说是一大问题，因为如果其他国家决定阻止（或不允许）美国进入新奥尔良，那它将无法运送和接收它想要买卖的物品。
So, when Thomas Jefferson was president, the United States negotiated (or reached an agreement) with France to buy New Orleans.
因此，当托马斯·杰斐逊是总统的时候，美国与法国就购买新奥尔良一事进行了协商（或达成了协议）。
The negotiators were prepared (or ready) to buy New Orleans for $10 million.
谈判代表预备（或准备）以1000万美元购买新奥尔良。
