He invented the cable car system because the
horse-drawn trams used before were unsafe.

同位语从句
同位语从句
定语从句
定语从句
1、从句的作用不同：同位语从句用来进一步
说明前面名词的内容；定语从句用来修饰、
限定前面的名词（相当于一个定语）。
e.g. The news that our team has won the final match
is encouraging. （从句说明“消息”的内容：我们队取得了决赛胜利。）
The news that you told us is really encouraging.
（从句对“消息”加以限定：是你告诉我们的，而非来自其他渠道。但消息是何内容却不得而知。）

2、引导从句的关联词that的功能不同：that引导同位语从句时是一个纯连词，不充当任何成分；而引导定语从句的that是关系代词，既指代先行词又须在从句中充当成分。
e.g.1) Dad made a promise that he would buy me CD player if I passed the English test. （that 不充当任何成分）
2) Dad made a promise that excited all his children.
（that指代promise，又在从句中充当主语。）
