The reason why...is/was that 的意思是什么呢？?jī)?yōu)朗英語(yǔ)全日制英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的許老師告訴我們是“……的原因是……”的意思。
句型解析：
1.說(shuō)明某件事情發(fā)生的原因
這個(gè)句型表示“……的原因是……”的意思。這個(gè)句型結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜：句子的主語(yǔ)是the reason,后面有兩個(gè)復(fù)合句。一個(gè)是關(guān)系副詞why所引導(dǎo)的從句，修飾句子的主語(yǔ)是the reason。一個(gè)是that所引導(dǎo)的從句。that不能省略。
例句：
The reason why she was fired was that the boss was not satisfied with her job.
她被炒魷魚(yú)的原因是老班對(duì)她的工作不滿意。
2.說(shuō)明事情發(fā)生的原因
另外，這個(gè)句型還可以簡(jiǎn)化為：The reason is/was that...。也就是把這個(gè)句中why引導(dǎo)的從句去掉。
例句：
The reason is that I took a wrong bus.
（我遲到的）原因是我坐錯(cuò)車(chē)了。
情景會(huì)話：
You are late, Dennis.
The reason(why I'm late) is that I took a wrong bus.

我遲到的原因是我做錯(cuò)車(chē)了。
