副词 only 后接不定式,表示结果(结果状语),指不符合句子主语意愿的结果(尤其指出乎意料的结果),这类用法前面通常有逗号。又如:

He worked very hard, only to fail again. 他努力地用功了,结果还是失败了。

I hurried to school, only to find out that it was a holiday. 我急匆匆地赶到学校,结果却发现那天放日。

He spent four years studying, only to learn that there were no jobs. 他花了四年时间学习,却发现找不到工作。

He returned, only to discover his car had been clamped. 他回来了,不料发现自己的汽车被上了夹钳。

有时这样用的不定式也表示目的。如:

I didn’t mean to hurt her, only to keep her still. 我没想要伤害她,只是想让她别动。(柯林斯词典)
