Many critics have held that why is redundant in the expression the reason why, as in The reason why he accepted the nomination is not clear. It is true that why could be eliminated from such examples with no loss to the sense, but the construction has been used by reputable English writers since the Renaissance.See Usage Note at where
许多批评家认为在the reason why 这种表达中， why 是多余的， 如在句子The reason why he accepted the nomination is mot clear.（他接受提名的原因不太明确。） why 可以从这种例子中除去，对句子意义并不影响， 但是自从文艺复兴以来这种结构已为颇有名望的英语作家的广泛应用参见 where
