2017年上半年中国居民人均消费支出及构成图

纯英文描述
The pie graph shows the consumption structure of the average Chinese resident within the first half year of 2017 from National Bureau of Statistics. There are total 8 different expense categories presented in the graph.
From the information provided, it is clear that the average Chinese resident spent more money in the consumption of food, cigarette, wine and residence, which was 4597 RMB and accounted for 52% of the total per capita resident consumption in the first half year of 2017. Specifically, the per capita consumption amount of food, cigarette and wine was 2678 RMB and accounted for 30.3% of the total per capita resident consumption. The percentage of per capita residential consumption, 21.7%, was 8.6% lower than that of food, cigarette and wine.
In contrast, in the period we discussed, the total percentage of all 6 remaining expense categories made up to 48%. These 6 remaining expense categories from the graph are living goods, transportation and communication, clothing, education and entertainment, medical treatment and other consumptions. The percentage of these consumptions was very close to each other. For example, the percentage of per capita clothing consumption was 7.6%, while the percentage of per capita medical treatment consumption was 8.1%.
In conclusion, we can see that the major expenses of the average Chinese resident were from basic living needs such as food and residence demand in the first half year of 2017.

The pie graph shows the consumption structure of the average Chinese resident within the first half year of 2017 from National Bureau of Statistics. 这个饼图展示了2017年上半年中国居民的人均消费结构，数据来源于国家统计局。 There are total 8 different expense categories presented in the graph. 图中呈现了共8种不同的消费类别。
From the information provided, it is clear that the average Chinese resident spent more money in the consumption of food, cigarette, wine and residence, which was 4597 RMB and accounted for 52% of the total per capita resident consumption in the first half year of 2017. 通过提供的信息，很显然中国普通居民在食品烟酒和居住上的消费更多，为4597人民币，占2017年上半年总居民人均消费的52%。Specifically, the per capita consumption amount of food, cigarette and wine was 2678 RMB and accounted for 30.3% of the total per capita resident consumption. 具体地，人均食品烟酒消费总额为2678人民币，占总人均居民消费的30.3%。 The percentage of per capita residential consumption, 21.7%, was 8.6% lower than that of food, cigarette and wine. 人均居住消费占比为21.7%，比食品烟酒的比例少8.6%。
In contrast, in the period we discussed, the total percentage of all 6 remaining expense categories made up to 48%. 相反的，在我们所讨论的时间段内，余下的6个消费类目的占比之和为48%。These 6 remaining expense categories from the graph are living goods, transportation and communication, clothing, education and entertainment, medical treatment and other consumptions. 这6个图表中的消费类目为生活用品、交通通信、衣着、教育娱乐、医疗保健及其他消费。The percentage of these consumptions was very close to each other. 这些消费的占比彼此非常相近。For example, the percentage of per capita clothing consumption was 7.6%, while the percentage of per capita medical treatment consumption was 8.1%. 例如，人均衣着消费占比为7.6%，而医疗保健的消费占比为8.1%。
In conclusion, we can see that the major expenses of the average Chinese resident were from basic living needs such as food and residence demand in the first half year of 2017。总的来说，我们可以看到2017年上半年中国普通居民的主要消费来源于基本生活需求，比如对食物和住所的需求。
