英语中主谓一致
More students than one have been referred to.
More than one student is going to buy this book.
为什么2句中用单数?不止一个不是复数么?

第一个句子中主语是MORE THAN ONE STUDENT,是复数,故用HAVE而不是HAS,而第二个句子中即使表达的是很多学生,但是英语中有就近原则,即靠近ONE STUDENT,用单数表达.
希望能对你有所帮助

More students than one has been referred to.
More than one student is going to buy this book.
根据英语中的靠近原则。
