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 fossi nato cent'anni prima, le decisioni importanti della mia vita sarebbero state prese da altri per me, il che vuol dire che sarei rimasto nella città nella quale ero nato; avrei molto probabilmente fatto lo stesso lavoro di mio padre e avrei quasi sicuramente sposato una donna scelta da mia madre.
