是的,这个why可以省略。关系副词why用于the reason后引导定语从句常可换成that或for which,均可省略。例如:

That's the reason (why, for which, that) he came. 这就是他来的原因。

又如:

The reason she was ill was that she had eaten bad meat. 《现代英汉词典》

The reason I called was to ask about the plans for Saturday. 《朗文当代英语词典》

The reason these cars are so expensive is that they are largely built by hand.《麦克米兰英语词典》

   在非正式文体如口语中,reason 后面引导定语从句的关系副词why可以省略。如:

    Can you think of any other reason he might be convinced you're guilty ? 你能找出他为您定罪的理由吗?(摘自赵振才:《英语常见问题解答大词典》增订版第五版p.1225)
