关于无连词条件从句中not必须放在主语之后

The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French potholer, Berger.  (NCE 3, L.42)

在无连词条件从句中,not必须放在主语之后,而且不能使用-n't这种缩略形式。

因此,上句是否应该改成

...had the entrance not been spotted by the distinguished French potholer, Berger.  ???

不然,如何解释?理由是什么呢?

你的理解是正确的。虚拟条件句省略if,操作词had 倒装。not不可以提前的。

《新概念》这个句子,确实和咱们学的语法规则不一样。夸克上面都没有开绿灯。

然而,had not the entrance been spotted这样的结构,还真是存在,可以说是一个古董级的存在。下面例子供参考:
