TheThreeGorgesDam
滚滚长江，泱泱中华。
毛泽东畅游长江时，挥毫留下了浪漫之作《水调歌头?
游咏》，为我们描绘了“高峡出平湖，神女应无羌，当惊世界殊”的壮美图画。
而今，葛洲坝上游兴建的三峡工程将成为世界上最大的水力发电站，万吨巨轮可驶抵重庆，三峡景色将更加绚丽多姿。

1.限制性定语从句对所修饰的词加以限制,表示"……的人",限制性定语从句描述的是主句不可缺少的一部分；非限制性定语从句对所修饰的词没有限制词义的作用,而只是补充说明,通常都有一个逗号把它和句子的其他部分分开,在译成中文时,这个从句常译成一个并列句。
如:
Heisthemanyou’vebeenexpectingtomeet.他就是你一直想见的那个人。
ThisismrSmith,whom/whoyou’vebeenexpectingtomeet.这位是史密斯先生,你一直想见的那个人。
