0 1. OK 02 br
00 2. Not OK, because in the original text the preference is in the past ("wanted"), not present. Thus I'd suggest: 02 br
00 I 01 b 00 would have preferred 02 b 00 01 i 00 to become 02 i 00 a pilot. 0-

00 Of course, but you did 01 b 00 not 02 b 00 get my point. Read again my post. In rigurous terms, only one of them strictly corresponds to the meaning of t

Maybe something like
'Daisy would sooner have had hot chocolate than coffee.'
the same: 'I would prefer to have become a pilot than a sailor.'
Am I right?
