3 chairman前面是否能加定冠词

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

上面一段摘自2021年新高考英语全国卷I的阅读理解B。请问文中的 chairman 前加可以加定冠词吗?我知道,chairman 前面的定冠词通常省略,但这里在 chairman 后面有 of 短语修饰啊,应该是特指吧?这样的定冠词也可以省略吗?

语法书上说表示独一无二的职位名词前通常不用冠词,请注意“通常”二字,事实上用冠词也是完全可以的。比如(注意the放在括号内,表示可有可无):

He became (the) chairman of the commission. 他成了委员会主席。(张道真英语语法)

Wilson became (the) President of the USA. 威尔逊当了美国总统。(朗文英语语法)

He was (the) captain of the football team for five years. 他当了五年的足球队长。(牛津高阶第四版)
