************* PERDÓNAME POR NO HABER
\"Ya Rebeca, su peor enemiga es su propria hermana; ella es el diablo, ESTÁ SIEMPRE TRAMANDO / SIEMPRE ARMA UNA INTRIGA, sabes, y creo que sería capaz de desbaratarlos.\"
Note #1
When someone \"apronta\", he/she\'s always up to something, scheming, making intrigues, that is, \"being the devil\". When you say that a young child \"apronta\", it means the kid is being too hyper, jumping up and down, breaking things around the house...
Note #2
In this case, when you see \"menina\" between commas, the speaker is not talking about a girl. It\'s only an appositive and the speaker is trying to call the attention of the one participating in the conversation. In order to go with the flow of this sentence, I would put the expression \"you know\" in place of \"menina\".
