1 虽然当代作家相较于前几个世纪的作家来说,言论更自由,但是,他们经常要删减自己的作品.
2 than were authors of previous centuries 这里用上了倒装,为了避免与前文重复也省略了一些成分
倒装指的是把were提前,省略是省了at liberty to be candid
还原一下就变成
Contemporary authors are much more at liberty to be candid
than authors of previous centuries were at liberty to be candid .
但是这样太罗嗦了,习惯上要省略
3 find sb doing sth 发现某人正在做某事
例句中(find themselves) doing是为了表达“总是在做……”的意思,强调经常性.
“当代作家发现他们经常要删减自己的作品”find 的主语是“当代作家”,宾语也是“当代作家”,所以用反身代词themselves.
4.censor 和expurgate都有删减的意思
