答案

The work which Thomas Masthus is still most widely known for （定语从句,译为Thomas Masthus最广为人知的工作） is his Essay on
the principle of Population （一篇论文即《人口论》）,which first appeared in 1798（which引导的定语从句,修饰《人口论》,译为“首次在1798年发表的）.
完整翻译：Thomas Masthus最广为人知的工作是1798年首次发表的《人口论》.
这个句子的难点是be known for 这一短语,即”因为.而为人所知“,文中把for 提到which前面了.
这里只涉及定语从句,不涉及宾语从句.简略来看就是：The work（修饰成分） is 人口论（修饰成分）.
