The reason why...is/was that 的意思是什么呢？優朗英語全日制英語培訓的許老師告訴我們是“……的原因是……”的意思。
句型解析：
1.說明某件事情發生的原因
這個句型表示“……的原因是……”的意思。這個句型結構比較復雜：句子的主語是the reason,后面有兩個復合句。一個是關系副詞why所引導的從句，修飾句子的主語是the reason。一個是that所引導的從句。that不能省略。
例句：
The reason why she was fired was that the boss was not satisfied with her job.
她被炒魷魚的原因是老班對她的工作不滿意。
2.說明事情發生的原因
另外，這個句型還可以簡化為：The reason is/was that...。也就是把這個句中why引導的從句去掉。
例句：
The reason is that I took a wrong bus.
（我遲到的）原因是我坐錯車了。
情景會話：
You are late, Dennis.
The reason(why I'm late) is that I took a wrong bus.
丹尼斯，你遲到了！
我遲到的原因是我做錯車了。
Could you tell me the truth, please?
Well, the reason why he wants to leave you is that he is dying.
請你告訴我真相，可以嗎？
好吧。他想要離開你的原因是他快要死了。
The reason why she was fired was that the boss was not satisfied with her job.
To be frank, she is not fit for the job.
她被炒魷魚的原因是老板對她的工作不滿意。
老實說，這個工作不適合她。
The reason why I had a fight with Kim was that she cheated!
Well, she got what she deserves.
我和金吵架的原因是因為她作弊！
好吧，她罪有應得。
