Meaning/expression
Message from dlsur posted on 01-08-2011 at 17:33:48 (D | E | F)
Hello everyone .
I need to resolve a problem, please; I am reading a book and I have found an expression.
I have been looking it up in a dictionary and I found the meaning , but I'm not sure.
It is the expression (in red ): What in the world is the matter with you ? What have you been up to ?What have you seen ? said the two men...
I think that the translation from English into Spanish is ¿Que has estado haciendo ? / What have you been doing ?. But I'm not sure about this meaning .
Thanks .

Hello
I'm no Spanish expert, but here's what I found:
Larousse: (inf) [secretly doing something]
what are you up to? ¿qué andas tramando?
Lien Internet
Reverso:
what are you up to? ¿qué andas haciendo?
what are you up to with that knife? ¿qué haces con ese cuchillo?
Lien Internet

By the way , the book where I found that expression, is Horror Stories ( Macmillan collections ) in English of course .
