6. I ran to the school, only to be informed that I wasn't admitted by Beijing University.

9.     He cut off the electricity quickly, preventing an accident.

从上面四个例句中我们可以看得出来，作为结果状语的现在分词短语所表示的都是谓语动词的直接结果，是意料中的结果。分词短语前有时可加上副词thus或thereby（因而、因此）。

(only) to do → 出乎意料干某事

总结 (thus / thereby) doing → 顺理成章干某事
