• Paste quoted text from the Methods section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks or a bullet mark:

Our primary method of data collection was a self-administered sur-vey, which was distributed in Beijing, China, between July 10th and 28th, 2020.

To guarantee that the sample was representative in terms of gender, age, and geographic distribution, questionnaires were distributed using a stratified sampling procedure.

• Write your translation on the next line:

The primary method of data collection was from a participant-completed survey, which was distributed in Beijing and Chine between July 10^th and 28^th, 2020. The surveys were distributed using a sampling approach designed to ensure participation from key demographic groups and ensure a representative sample was collected.

• Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

Although the pandemic has affected every resident of megacities, the impact has not been evenly distributed across geographic areas and population groups. First, the neighborhood environment may moderate the impact of the pandemic.

• Write your translation on the next line:

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed people to increased stressors, which contributed to a greater risk of mental health challenges. The neighborhood environments (parks, green spaces, and social resources) may impact the individual experience during the pandemic, including implications on mental health.

• Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

Furthermore, the proportion of the lower-income group experiencing a significant increase in negative emotions during the pandemic was greater than that of higher-income group (16 vs. 10%), while the proportion of lower-income group that did not change in mental health during the pandemic was lower than that of higher-income group (40 vs. 46%).

In terms of neighborhood environment, lower income people live in neighborhoods with a lower walkability score and lesser access to urban parks, as well as higher levels of discrimination.

• Write your translation on the next line:

The study results imply that supportive, higher income, neighborhood environments improved mental health resilience during a pandemic, while lower income residents experience greater mental health impacts due to the inequal access to supporting neighborhood environments. It identified that the lower income group experienced significant negative emotions in comparison to the higher income group.

• Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks:

This is probably because a park near home is one of the limited options for lower income residents to engage in leisure and physical activities, while the higher-income residents have more available options (e.g., gyms or sports centers) to relax and participate in physical activity.

• Write your translation on the next line:

The discussion implies that park accessibility should be further implemented in planning and future development, particularly in lower income urban settings, as there are fewer leisure activities available to lower income households that support improved mental well-being. Higher income residents were at lower risk of pandemic related mental health complications presumed due to better access to alternative leisure activities.

The paper identified several variables, which could be further isolated to draw a stronger conclusion. For example, physical living conditions likely contribute to adverse mental health impacts in lower income residents in urban dense areas in comparison to higher income residents.

I understood the written language, but found interpretation of the visual data difficult to digest.
