朴实无华的炉灶/简陋的灶炉
200万人早逝/premature早产  
此外，被浪费的并不只是生命，农村地区村落中的妇女和女孩也将时间与精力耗散在四处游走、捡拾肮脏的固体燃料上，这些燃料从农作物废料到牛粪不等（而将其作为肥料效果更佳）。/简陋的厨具设备不仅造成人员伤亡，而且生活在偏远地区的妇女女孩儿们要浪费大量时间和精力四处拾集像麦梗或牛粪之类肮脏的固体燃料，而牛粪用做肥料更佳.。


能产生更多热量、更为清洁且消耗更少燃料的炉具，其吸引力显而易见/  因此我们呼吁能产出一种更清洁更节能产热更多的炉具

：“请不要施舍，也别发炉子。” 不要散发传单也不要赠送炉子



愚见··望指正

感谢wingshye23，看得很仔细

“朴实无华”已改为“简陋”；
ps：另一位译者sailor将它处理为“不起眼”，感觉也很好

对premature death和appea，还是坚持原先的理解；
那个长句的结构调整之后会丢失一部分含义，也不改了。


please don’t offer handouts and don’t give away stoves这一点当时很犹豫，现在看还是按照你的思路，把它理解为“不要只做宣传这种表面文章”比较好，已改为“请不要发传单，也不要送炉子。”

两个意思。
这里还是施舍的意思。

handout is something given freely or distributed gratis (without compensation). It can refer to materials handed out for presentation purposes or to a charitable gift, among other things.

During the Great Depression, many people lived entirely on handouts of one kind or another. The term became especially popular among hobos, who developed a system of signs and symbols to describe the nature, quantity, and availability of handouts.

In more recent times, the perceived ineffectiveness of simple welfare schemes has given the term a negative connotation. "Give a hand up, not a handout" is a common remark among proponents of workfare or other welfare-to-work systems. As the issue of homelessness has become more visible and controversial, handouts to panhandlers are more often frowned upon by those who believe the behavior encourages homelessness. The term "government handout" is often applied to both welfare systems as well as corporate welfare or pork. The implication is that a handout is unearned and undeserved, unlike a "donation" or "contribution".

Handouts may also refer to short, usually single-page assignments distributed in high school or college.

有道理，以前没注意这里面的不同

简易炉具也易着火，造成死伤/简易炉具也易引发火灾、造成伤亡。

换成这样说更书面些
