In this transaction with France, signed on April 30, 1803, the United States purchased 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.
在 1803 年 4 月 30 日与法国签署的这笔交易中，美国以 1,500 万美元购买了密西西比河以西 828,000 平方英里的土地。
For roughly 4 cents an acre, the United States doubled its size, expanding the nation westward.
美国以每英亩约 4 美分的价格将其国土面积扩大了一倍，国家向西扩张。
Originally, negotiators Robert Livingston and James Monroe were authorized to pay France up to $10 million solely for the port of New Orleans and the Floridas.
最初，谈判代表罗伯特·利文斯顿和詹姆斯·门罗被授权向法国支付最多 1000 万美元，仅用于新奥尔良和佛罗里达港的建设。
However, when they were offered the entire territory of Louisiana – an area larger than Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal combined – the American negotiators swiftly agreed to a price of $15 million.
然而，当他们获得路易斯安那州的整个领土——面积比英国、法国、德国、意大利、西班牙和葡萄牙的总和还要大时——美国谈判代表很快就同意了 1500 万美元的价格。
Although President Thomas Jefferson was generally a strict interpreter of the Constitution who wondered if the U.S. Government (and especially the President) was authorized to acquire new territory, the desire to expand the United States across the entire continent trumped his ideological beliefs.
尽管托马斯·杰斐逊总统总体上是宪法的严格解释者，他想知道美国政府（尤其是总统）是否有权获得新领土，但将美国扩张到整个大陆的愿望压倒了他的意识形态信仰。
As Napoleon threatened to take back the offer, Jefferson squelched whatever doubts he had and prepared to occupy a land of unimaginable riches.
当拿破仑威胁要收回这个提议时，杰斐逊压制住了他的所有疑虑，并准备占领这片拥有难以想象的财富的土地。
The Louisiana Purchase was the first major cession of land in a long series of expansions that span the 19th century.
路易斯安那购买案是 19 世纪一系列扩张中的第一次重大土地转让。
Within 50 years, the present-day borders of the contiguous United States would be solidified with the Gadsden Purchase.
50 年内，美国本土的现有边界将因加兹登购买案而得到巩固。
Each expansion, though greatly increasing the size of the United States, also exposed the sectional weaknesses between the North and South, especially related to the issue of slavery.
每次扩张虽然大大增加了美国的面积，但也暴露了南北之间的局部弱点，特别是与奴隶制问题有关的弱点。
As new territories and states were created, the desire to maintain a balance between "free states" and "slave states" required a series of fragile compromises (notably the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 ).
随着新的领土和国家的创建，维持“自由国家”和“奴隶国家”之间平衡的愿望需要一系列脆弱的妥协（特别是密苏里妥协和1850年妥协）。
Eventually, as agreements became more difficult to achieve, civil war became inevitable.
最终，随着协议变得越来越难以达成，内战变得不可避免。
In addition, the Louisiana Purchase ignored the potential impact on Native Americans.
此外，购买路易斯安那州忽略了对美洲原住民的潜在影响。
The land ceded in this agreement (and later expansions) was populated with thousands of American Indians across dozens of tribes.
该协议（以及后来的扩张）中割让的土地上居住着数十个部落的数千名美洲印第安人。
As territories and states were established, more and more Americans from the East traveled west, leading to conflict with Native Americans.
随着领土和州的建立，越来越多的美国人从东方来到西方，导致与美洲原住民的冲突。
Ultimately, Native people were forcibly moved on to reservations, losing vast acreage of their tribal lands, and the U.S. Government would force them to change their ways of life and try to erase their religions and cultural heritage.
最终，原住民被迫迁移到保留地，失去了大片部落土地，美国政府将迫使他们改变生活方式，并试图消除他们的宗教和文化遗产。
The Louisiana Purchase Agreement is made up of the Treaty of Cession and the two conventions regarding the financial aspects of the transaction.
路易斯安那购买协议由割让条约和有关交易财务方面的两项公约组成。

Whereas by the Article the third of the Treaty concluded at St Ildefonso the 9th Vendémiaire an 9 (1st October) 1800 between the First Consul of the French Republic and his Catholic Majesty it was agreed as follows.
鉴于法兰西共和国第一领事和天主教陛下于 1800 年 9 月 1 日在圣伊尔德丰索第九 Vendémiaire 缔结的条约第三条，协议如下。
"His Catholic Majesty promises and engages on his part to cede to the French Republic six months after the full and entire execution of the conditions and Stipulations herein relative to his Royal Highness the Duke of Parma, the Colony or Province of Louisiana with the Same extent that it now has in the hand of Spain, & that it had when France possessed it; and Such as it Should be after the Treaties subsequently entered into between Spain and other States."
“天主教陛下承诺并承诺，在完全执行本文中有关帕尔马公爵殿下的条件和规定六个月后，将路易斯安那殖民地或省割让给法兰西共和国，其程度与现在在西班牙手中的程度相同，与法国占领时的程度相同；以及随后西班牙与其他国家之间签订条约后应有的程度。”
And whereas in pursuance of the Treaty and particularly of the third article the French Republic has an incontestible title to the domain and to the possession of the said Territory--The First Consul of the French Republic desiring to give to the United States a strong proof of his friendship doth hereby cede to the United States in the name of the French Republic for ever and in full Sovereignty the said territory with all its rights and appurtenances as fully and in the Same manner as they have been acquired by the French Republic in virtue of the above mentioned Treaty concluded with his Catholic Majesty.
根据该条约，特别是第三条，法兰西共和国对该领土拥有无可争议的所有权和占有权——法兰西共和国第一领事希望向美国提供其友谊的有力证明，特此以法兰西共和国的名义将上述领土及其所有权利和附属物以与获得时相同的方式完全和完全割让给美国。法兰西共和国根据上述与天主教陛下签订的条约。
In the cession made by the preceeding article are included the adjacent Islands belonging to Louisiana all public lots and Squares, vacant lands and all public buildings, fortifications, barracks and other edifices which are not private property.--The Archives, papers & documents relative to the domain and Sovereignty of Louisiana and its dependances will be left in the possession of the Commissaries of the United States, and copies will be afterwards given in due form to the Magistrates and Municipal officers of such of the said papers and documents as may be necessary to them.
在前条所作出的割让中，包括属于路易斯安那的邻近岛屿的所有公共土地和广场、空地和所有公共建筑、防御工事、营房和其他不属于私有财产的建筑物。--与路易斯安那的领土和主权及其附属物有关的档案、文件和文件将由美国委员会保管，随后将以适当的形式将副本提供给美国委员会治安法官和市政官员可能需要的上述文件和文件。
The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the Union of the United States and admitted as soon as possible according to the principles of the federal Constitution to the enjoyment of all these rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States, and in the mean time they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and the Religion which they profess.

There Shall be Sent by the Government of France a Commissary to Louisiana to the end that he do every act necessary as well to receive from the Officers of his Catholic Majesty the Said country and its dependances in the name of the French Republic if it has not been already done as to transmit it in the name of the French Republic to the Commissary or agent of the United States.
法国政府应向路易斯安那派遣一名特使，以便他采取一切必要行动，以法兰西共和国的名义从天主教陛下的官员处接收上述国家及其属地，如果尚未以法兰西共和国的名义将其转交给美国的特使或代理人的话。
Immediately after the ratification of the present Treaty by the President of the United States and in case that of the first Consul's shall have been previously obtained, the commissary of the French Republic shall remit all military posts of New Orleans and other parts of the ceded territory to the Commissary or Commissaries named by the President to take possession--the troops whether of France or Spain who may be there shall cease to occupy any military post from the time of taking possession and shall be embarked as soon as possible in the course of three months after the ratification of this treaty.
在美国总统批准本条约后，如果第一任领事的军事哨所已事先获得，法兰西共和国的小卖部应将新奥尔良和割让领土其他部分的所有军事哨所移交给总统指定的一个或多个小卖部接管——可能在那里的法国或西班牙军队应自占领之日起停止占领任何军事哨所，并应尽快上船。该条约批准后三个月内。
The United States promise to execute Such treaties and articles as may have been agreed between Spain and the tribes and nations of Indians until by mutual consent of the United States and the said tribes or nations other Suitable articles Shall have been agreed upon.
美国承诺执行西班牙与印第安人部落和民族之间可能已商定的条约和条款，直到美国和所述部落或民族双方同意就其他适当的条款达成一致为止。
As it is reciprocally advantageous to the commerce of France and the United States to encourage the communication of both nations for a limited time in the country ceded by the present treaty until general arrangements relative to commerce of both nations may be agreed on; it has been agreed between the contracting parties that the French Ships coming directly from France or any of her colonies loaded only with the produce and manufactures of France or her Said Colonies; and the Ships of Spain coming directly from Spain or any of her colonies loaded only with the produce or manufactures of Spain or her Colonies shall be admitted during the Space of twelve years in the Port of New-Orleans and in all other legal ports-of-entry within the ceded territory in the Same manner as the Ships of the United States coming directly from France or Spain or any of their Colonies without being Subject to any other or greater duty on merchandize or other or greater tonnage than that paid by the citizens of the United States.
由于鼓励两国在本条约割让的国家内进行一段有限时间内的通信，直至就两国商业的一般安排达成一致，这对法国和美国的商业是互利的；缔约方之间已商定，直接来自法国或其任何殖民地的法国船舶仅装载法国或其上述殖民地的产品和制成品；直接来自西班牙或其任何殖民地且仅装载西班牙或其殖民地的产品或制成品的西班牙船舶应在十二年内进入新奥尔良港和割让领土内的所有其他合法入境港，其方式与直接来自法国或西班牙或其任何殖民地的美国船舶相同，无需缴纳任何其他或更大的商品税或比公民支付的其他或更大的吨位美国的。
During that Space of time above mentioned no other nation Shall have a right to the Same privileges in the Ports of the ceded territory--the twelve years Shall commence three months after the exchange of ratifications if it Shall take place in France or three months after it Shall have been notified at Paris to the French Government if it Shall take place in the United States; It is however well understood that the object of the above article is to favour the manufactures, Commerce, freight and navigation of France and of Spain So far as relates to the importations that the French and Spanish Shall make into the Said Ports of the United States without in any Sort affecting the regulations that the United States may make concerning the exportation of the produce and merchandize of the United States, or any right they may have to make Such regulations.
在上述期间内，任何其他国家均不得在割让领土的港口享有同样的特权——如果在法国进行，则十二年应在交换批准书后三个月开始；如果在美国进行，则应在巴黎通知法国政府三个月后开始；然而，众所周知，上述条款的目的是有利于法国和西班牙的制造、商业、货运和航运，就法国和西班牙应向美国上述港口进行的进口而言，不以任何形式影响美国可能制定的有关美国产品和商品出口的规定，或他们可能拥有制定此类规定的任何权利。
In future and for ever after the expiration of the twelve years, the Ships of France shall be treated upon the footing of the most favoured nations in the ports above mentioned.
今后，在十二年期满后，法国船舶将在上述港口享受最惠国待遇。

今天由各自部长签署的特别公约，其目的是规定法兰西共和国在 9 月 30 日之前偿还欠美国公民的债务。

第 1800 号条约（第 8 条和第 9 条）获得批准并以与插入本条约相同的方式执行，并且应以相同的形式并在同一时间予以批准，以便批准一项条约时不得与另一项条约不同。

与本条约同一日期签署的有关缔约方之间明确规则的另一项特定公约也以同样的方式获得批准，并将以相同的形式、在同一时间、共同批准。
