When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

quiero y no puedo / delirios de grandeza
Champagne Dream
Noun. A grandiose desire to obtain some or all first-class indulgences that are completely out of reach due to financial burden or strain, causing either maxed-out credit lines and / or leeching on to someone who is well-funded.
En cuanto al segundo término (por cierto, sólo uno por pregunta), imagino que se refiere a eso, delirios de grandeza, con una referencia quijotesca, pero estoy aventurando...
