题目

got to the station only telling the train had gone.
为什么用telling不能用to tell
only to do sth可表示意外结果,Jack got to the station only to find the train had gone.或Jack got to the station only to be told the train had gone.这两个句子对吗?请指教

答案

不用telling,用to find或者to be told都可以.
only to do sth.表示意外的某种结果,但是要注意主语仍然为发现这一事情的人,所以要么是他发现（find）或者使她被告知（to be told）.用telling显然不行.
