求教A31中的一个句子

请问A31中"both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms”， 请问这句话翻译成中文应该是什么意思？我感觉这句话严重影响了我对于这一点的理解和攻击。网上的版本是“依据总体税收比率及相关政策来看”，请问对吗？这一点应该怎么攻击？谢谢回复和解答！

The following appeared in a letter to the editor of Parson City's local newspaper.
In our region of Trillura, the majority of money spent on the schools that most students attend—the city-run public schools—comes from taxes that each city government collects. The region's cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to public education. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do.
