one of my favorites by Leroy V. Quintana:
With the Lights On All Night
In English, to say that somebody slept with the lights on
all night can be trusted to mean nothing else, but so much
is lost in Spanish when you say that Alfredo slept all night
con la luz prendida unless you know that his wife's name
is Luz wich means light, and that prendida can mean the light
was left on, or that Luz was clinging to him, toda la noche,
madly.
from : The Great Whirl of Exile by Leroy V. Quintana.
