reason的用法

首先强调一下，reason后why引导的不是同位语从句，而是定语从句。

1) reason+定语从句

a. 关系副词充当定语从句的原因状语，可以用why或that或省略。

The reason that [why] he died was lack of medical care. ——《用法词典》

备注：关系副词可以用for which代替。

b. 关系代词充当定语从句的主语或宾语，可以用that或which，与一般的定语从句用法相同。

2) reason+同位语从句，用that引导。

reason作“理由，原因”讲时，通常作可数名词，其前常与for搭配；作“充足理由”讲时，为不可数名词，后面多跟不定式。（以下例句来自Longman）
