On Thursday, Jeep fans everywhere had a reason to celebrate.
周四，“吉普迷”们可以庆祝一番了。
The Jeep was patented 75 years ago on April 7th, 1941.
75年前的1941年4月7日，吉普轿车成功申请专利。
The actual production of the first American Jeep was a joint effort, with American Bantam creating the winning design and receiving the patent.
第一辆美国吉普实为“合资”品，由美国班塔姆汽车公司设计，并获得专利权。
But their engine didn't have enough kick, so the U.S. Military insisted that Willy-Overland's engine design had to go into the Jeep for Bantam to keep their military contract.
但吉普引擎后劲不足，美军为保证合同，坚持使用“Willy-Overland”公司设计引擎。
From there, Ford had to step in to make sure enough Jeeps were being made to ship off to World War 2.
福特公司保证二战吉普供给。
Since then, the Jeep has been a classic part of America's off road vehicle collection.
自此以后，吉普就成为了美国越野车的经典。
