国家首席经济规划师称，十月份，中国成品油产品产量为2053万公吨，与去年同期持平。同时，根据国家发改委网站公布的数据，成品油产品的表面消费量较去年相比增加了3.4个百分点，达到了2124万公吨。因此，十月份国家成品油产品储备与上个月相比略有下降，但仍高于去年同期水平。

请看相关英文报道：
China produced 20.53 million metric tons of refined oil products in October, marking the same amount as a year earlier, according to the country's top economic planner.
Meanwhile, the apparent consumption of refined oil products rose 3.4 percent year-on-year to21.24 million metric tons during the period, according to a report posted on the website of the National Development and Reform Commission.
As a result, the country's stock of refined oil products in October dropped slightly from a month earlier, but the stock remained higher than that of the previous year, the report said.

【解析】

上述报道中的"refined oil"就是“成品油”的意思。"refine"的意思是“精炼、提纯”，"oil"就是一般的“石油”的意思。相对于成品油，常见的“原油”的表达则是"crude oil"。"crude"是指“天然的、未加工的”。此外，“汽油”老美常用"gas"、"gasoline"，英式则常用"petrol"。而“柴油”用"diesel"或者"diesel oil"来表达。

例句：

The aggregate supply control over petrochemical industry has been basically achieved and the demand and supply of crude oil, refined oil and main petrochemical products are balanced on the whole.
