有不会的欢迎再继续问我(*^__^*)population 不是不可数吗，做主语时谓语动词用单数吗？.“population” 前面出现分数，百分数或不定代词most，half 等时，谓语动词用单数或复数均可，而单数更常见些。如：In 1970,26.5 percent of the U.S.A. population was rural. 美国人口的26.5%在农村地区。Australia is a very large country. But most of the population is in the south-east past.One half of the world’s population are Asians. 世界人口的一半是亚洲人。85%of the population live in cities and towns. Only 15% live in the countryside.
