If I would have been born a hundred years earlier, the big decisions in my life would have been made for me -- meaning I would have stayed in the town that I was born in; I would have very much likely entered the same profession that my dad did; and I would have very much likely married a woman that my mom had selected.
Se eu tivesse nascido 100 anos antes, as grandes decisões da minha vida teriam sido tomadas para mim -- significando que eu teria ficado na cidade em que eu nasci; Eu teria muito provavelmente abraçado a mesma profissão que o meu pai teve; e teria muito provavelmente me casado com uma mulher que minha mãe teria escolhido.
