香港政府派錢

Hong Kong Government sends money

香港政府今日終於定出派發6000元給市民的日期和具體方法。我身為一個香港市民，當然可以受惠。

Today, the Hong Kong Government eventually finally have has decided on the date and specific method of distributing 6000 Hong Kong dollars to the public. I, as a Hong Kong resident, of course can benefit from it.

其實我發到政府派發的款項已不是第一次，因為我除了是香港市民外，我還有澳門公民的資格。而澳門政府早於四年前已開始於每年以一次性的方式撥項給普羅大眾，作為舒解民困的其中一個方法。這亦是政府為了解決民怨的一種技倆。而這種方法是否有舒解民困的成效，則不得而知了。但從經濟學的角度看，派發一次性撥款這一措拖在短期內會刺激起通脹。

As a matter of fact, this is not the first time I have received the money from the Government because I not only am a Hong Kong resident, but also have citizenship of Macau (1) The Macau Government has started distributing one-time funding to residents as early as four years ago as a way of relieving their hardship and also a governmental tactic to address grievances. The effectiveness of using this method to relieve the hardship is unknown. But from an economic point of view, this distribution of one-time funding will stimulate the inflation in short term (2).

1) This sentence sounds a little strange. Consider moving the "because" clause up to make it read: As a matter of fact, because I am not only a HK resident, but also a citizen of Macau, this is not the first time I have received money from the government. 

2) The phrase 'Stimulate inflation' also sounds strange, but maybe that's because I don't study economics. Are you saying that these measures will cause inflation to stop growing, or are they trying to provoke inflation with these measures? The second doesn't seem very likely...

We don't usually say "the hardship". You could say 'their hardship' or just hardship by itself.
