In examples I looked at, "have an axe to grind" didn't seem quite right.

中午化妆 什么情况?Wow, middle-of-the-day makeup. - What's the occasion?
我高中日记里的人 问我想不想喝咖啡Who? - That guy from my high school diary. Asked if I wanted to have coffee.
真喝咖啡还是另有企图? - Coffee or banging?

他一定另有企图
He's up to something.

或者他也是另有企图
Guess he's just another dirty old man.

有些人去那是另有企图
Some people were there for less honorable reasons.

信中指控我们另有企图,而事实上是刚果(金)另有企图,即将刚果民主共和国东部的刚果人排除在外,金沙萨所称的借口是他们不是刚果人。
He accuses us of having a hidden agenda while in reality it is Congo-Kinshasa which has a hidden agenda, an agenda which excludes Congolese of the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo who, according to Kinshasa, are not Congolese.

让她走, 她是骗子, 她另有企图
Wait! Let her go. She's a phoney.

利坚合众国对此是另有企图。
Herein lies an ulterior aim sought by the United States.

我不得不承认,这次我的确另有企图。我想请你帮个忙。
Although, I have to confess, I do have an ulterior motive.I need to ask you a favor.

因為我是女士,所以對我來說,我覺得這裡有很多的男士,不是真心學習語言,而是另有企圖。
