Passed on March 11, 1941, this act set up a system that would allow the United States to lend or lease war supplies to any nation deemed "vital to the defense of the United States."
该法案于 1941 年 3 月 11 日通过，建立了一个体系，允许美国向任何被视为“对美国国防至关重要”的国家出借或租赁战争物资。
In July 1940, after Britain had sustained the loss of 11 destroyers to the German Navy over a 10-day period, newly elected British Prime Minister Winston Churchill requested help from President Roosevelt.
1940 年 7 月，英国在 10 天内被德国海军损失了 11 艘驱逐舰，新当选的英国首相温斯顿·丘吉尔向罗斯福总统请求帮助。
Roosevelt responded by exchanging 50 destroyers for 99-year leases on British bases in the Caribbean and Newfoundland.
罗斯福以 50 艘驱逐舰换取英国在加勒比海和纽芬兰基地的 99 年租约作为回应。
As a result, a major foreign policy debate erupted over whether the United States should aid Great Britain or maintain strict neutrality.
结果，一场关于美国应该援助英国还是保持严格中立的重大外交政策争论爆发了。
In the 1940 Presidential election campaign, Roosevelt promised to keep America out of the war.
在 1940 年总统竞选中，罗斯福承诺让美国远离战争。
He stated, "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again; your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." Nevertheless, FDR wanted to support Britain and believed the United States should serve as a "great arsenal of democracy." Churchill pleaded, "Give us the tools and we'll finish the job."
他说：“我以前已经说过了，但我会一遍又一遍地说；你们的孩子们不会被派去参加任何外国战争。”尽管如此，罗斯福还是希望支持英国，并认为美国应该充当“伟大的民主军火库”。丘吉尔恳求道：“给我们工具，我们就能完成任务。”
In January 1941, following up on his campaign pledge and the prime minister's appeal for arms, Roosevelt proposed to Congress a new military aid bill.
1941 年 1 月，罗斯福履行其竞选承诺和总理的武器呼吁，向国会提出了一项新的军事援助法案。
The plan proposed by FDR was to "lend-lease or otherwise dispose of arms" and other supplies needed by any country whose security was vital to the defense of the United States.
罗斯福提出的计划是“借出或以其他方式处置武器”以及任何其安全对美国国防至关重要的国家所需的其他物资。
In support of the bill, Secretary of War Henry L.
为了支持该法案，战争部长亨利·L.
Stimson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during the debate over lend-lease, "We are buying...not lending.
史汀生在关于租借的辩论中告诉参议院外交关系委员会，“我们正在购买......而不是贷款。
We are buying our own security while we prepare.
我们在准备的同时购买了自己的安全保障。
By our delay during the past six years, while Germany was preparing, we find ourselves unprepared and unarmed, facing a thoroughly prepared and armed potential enemy."
由于我们在过去六年里的拖延，当德国正在做好准备时，我们发现自己毫无准备、手无寸铁，面对的是一个准备充分、全副武装的潜在敌人。”
Following two months of debate, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, meeting Great Britain’s deep need for supplies and allowing the United States to prepare for war while remaining officially neutral.
经过两个月的辩论，国会通过了《租借法案》，满足了英国对物资的迫切需求，并允许美国在保持官方中立的同时做好战争准备。
