total value of import

Between January and August last year, the total value of China’s import and export reached US$137.8 billion, an increase of 24.6 percent over the same period in the previous year.

去年 1 月至 8 月我国进出口总额达到了 1,378 亿美元的水平，比前年同 期增加了 24.6%。

But commodity prices are not something for us to decide. Total import volume has not declined, yet the value of imports has come down as a result of falling prices.

但是国际市场价格不是我们能决定的，我们进口量没有下来，由于价格下降导致进口额减少，应该由谁来负责？

On account of the skyrocketing growth of the prices of bulk goods and raw materials, the total business number of import remains stable, yet the delivery value of import increases greatly.

由于国外大宗商品、原材料价格增长迅猛，导致我市企业进口业务量保持了相对平稳，但是进口货值却发生了大幅增长。
