what are you up to有很多意思,你问的问题要具体看你的语境.
有时候我们想表达‘你正在作什么啊?’通常会说"What are you doing?" 但其实在西方国家大家平时聊天更倾向于用,"What are you up to?"假设你在办公室里,你想找人八卦,所以问同事,"In the middle of something?"(你正在忙吗?) 他回答,"Kind of." (算是吧.) 这时你可以继续追问 "What are you up to?" (那你在忙什么啊?)
另外有时候朋友好久不见了"What are you up to?" 意思就是问你最近在作什么啊?
有时候 "What are you up to?" 指的虽然还是 "What are you doing?" 但它却是‘你在搞什么鬼啊?’的意思喔!例如当你看到别人在乱翻你的东西,你就可以责问他,"Hey,what are you up to?" 也就是骂他‘你在搞什么鬼啊?’.或是像电影 Blow 里毒贩的老爸骂他的儿子,"I know what you are up to." (我知道你在干些什么勾当.)
例如朋友告诉你他正在写论文,你就可以问他,"What are you up to?" (进展的如何了),而他的回答可能是,"I am writing Chapter 3 now." 我现在正在写第三章呢.
