在教学的过程当中，我们发现许多学生都反映说不定式作结果状语太难理解了。其实只要搞清楚不定式作结果状语是表示其动作发生在谓语动作之后，并且总是在句末，而不能置于句首，就不难理解了。如：
He turned round to see that Mary was crying.
My grandmother lived to be ninety.
One is never too old to learn.
不定式作结果状语有时所表示的情况和结果往往是未曾预料到的，而且往往是令人不愉快的或愉快的，如：
The old lion came to the cave to die.
I woke up to find it was raining.
The students went to the gate to see that his classmates were waiting for them.
不定式表结果常用下列固定句型：
1too +adj /adv+不定式
这种不定式所表示的是不能实现的结果，可以译成“太…而不能”
They mean also all the things too far away to see.
My little brother is too young to go to school.
His eyesight is too poor to read such small letters.
有时，Too后为for加名词或代词，这时可把for短语看成是不定式的逻辑主语，句子含否定意义。如
The coat is too big for me to wear.
This passage is too difficult for him to read.
2enough + 不定式
But nobody knew what to do, because there was nothing big enough to weigh it.
Their bones are not strong enough to hold up their body on land..
He is strong enough to carry the box.
The hall is not large enough for them to hold a meeting in.
3Such（…）as+ 不定式
His illness is not such as to cause anxiety.他的病还不足以令人焦虑。
He is such a fool as to think that his idle chatter can influence others. 他是个蠢货，以为他喋喋不休的废话会给人施加影响。
The pain was such as to allow him no sleep.疼痛那么剧烈使他不能入睡。
4so + adj /adv +as+不定式
The deer is so tall as to reach leaves in the tree.
The pain was so great as to allow him no sleep.
Would you be so kind as to help me
Would you be so kind as to lend me your dictionary
5不定式有时前面带only，在下列句子中也表示结果，通常表示一个未曾预料到的、不愉快的结果，可以换成and（but）+动词
He opened his eyes only to find（＝and found） himself lying in bed in a hospital.
——What has he done to make you so angry
——He lifted a rock only to drop (and dropped) it on his own feet.
但要注意，only doing 表示一个自然的或意料之中的情况或结果，表示因果关系，不能改成and（but）如：
Sap passes right through the cow bug’s bodies ,only getting a little thicker and thicker.
6just to do 只表示结果，可以译为“只，仅，专门”
I have come here just to see you.
