We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us this is an emergency as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution， the same sense of urgency， the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war.
We have furnished the British great material support and we will furnish far more in the future.
There will be no “bottlenecks” in our determination to aid Great Britain. No dictator， no combination of dictators， will weaken that determination by threats of how they will construe that determination.
The British have received invaluable military support from the heroic Greek Army and from the forces of all the governments in exile. Their strength is growing. It is the strength of men and women who value their freedom more highly than they value their lives.
I believe that the Axis powers are not going to win this war. I base that belief on the latest and best of information.
We have no excuse for defeatism. We have every good reason for hope—hope for peace， yes， and hope for the defense of our civilization and for the building of a better civilization in the future.
I have the profound conviction that the American people are now determined to put forth a mightier effort than they have ever yet made to increase our production of all the implements of defense， to meet the threat to our democratic faith.
As president of the United States， I call for that national effort. I call for it in the name of this nation which we love and honor and which we are privileged and proud to serve. I call upon our people with absolute confidence that our common cause will greatly succeed.

我的朋友：
这次炉边谈话的内容不是关于战争，而是关于国家安全保障，因为你们的总统所有目的的核心，就是想让你们，你们的孩子，你们的子孙后代，不需要再通过拼死抵抗来维护美国的独立，以及美国的独立赋予我、你和我们大家的一切。
