escuchar indiscretamente

Explanation:
Esto es lo que dice el diccionario, a ver qué dicen los colegas. "Eavesdrop" significa escuchar cuando uno NO debe estár esuchando, cuando los demás no se dan cuenta que uno los está esuchando.

Algo interesante sobre "eavesdropping"

Explanation:
Hola DCampos,

Aquí el oso sólo para agregar un artículo sobre este tema. Las respuestas de los colegas son todas muy buenas.

"Michigan law makes it a felony for any person, whether present or not during a "private conversation," to willfully use any device to "eavesdrop" upon the conversation without the consent of all parties. To eavesdrop is to overhear, record, amplify or transmit any part of the private discourse of others without permission. It is also illegal to knowingly aid, employ or procure another person to eavesdrop and to use or divulge any information that one knows or reasonably should know was obtained in violation of the statute. Punishment is up to two years in a state prison, a fine of not more than $2,000 or both. Listening to a telephone conversation on an extension phone without the consent of all parties has been held to be eavesdropping under the Michigan statute.

Participant recording
Because Michigan's definition of "eavesdrop" is to "overhear, record, amplify or transmit any part of the private discourse of others," Michigan courts have held that participant recording (even without the consent of the other parties) is not prohibited. Therefore, a party to the conversation can record the conversation himself without obtaining the consent of the other parties. He cannot, however, employ a third party to record the conversation on his behalf without getting the consent of all the parties."

Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)

Word origin

Explanation:
I agree with my collegues re the translation. Just wanted to share with you the origin of this word. a long time ago, houses were built with a little cubby hole over the front door, in the eaves (a roof overhang). Many people would hide in the cubby and listen to the converxations going on at the front door - and hence the term eaves dropping.

Escuchar detrás de las puertas

Explanation:
(una práctica que todavía no ha caído en desuso...)
Creo que es la traducción más apropiada, aunque dependerá del contexto en la que la utilices. En cualquier caso, se trata de "escuchar" (es decir, oir prestando atención) a escondidas, normalmente con referencia a hacerlo "detrás de las puertas".
Si no hay ninguna puerta en el contexto, entonces puedes traducirlo por "escuchar a escondidas/sin que se dieran cuenta".
