Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said he would meet North Korea's envoy on Monday afternoon before the full round of talks opens Tuesday after a gap of more than a year.

　　"We are just trying to get acquainted, review how we see things coming up and compare notes," Hill told reporters. Referring to Tuesday's talks, he said, "We are looking forward to working hard and trying to make some progress."

　　Compare notes的意思是“交换意见”。
例如，We'd have to compare notes on what we've discussed during the day. （我们想用点时间来研究讨论一下白天谈判的情况。）There are a few things we might compare notes on.（有些事情我们得交换一下意见。）

　　据悉，停顿1年多之后，第四轮六方会谈将于26日上午9时在钓鱼台国宾馆开始。引人瞩目的是，本轮会谈并未设定具体结束时间。美国代表团团长希尔24日抵达北京时说，美方希望此轮会谈能取得显著的进展和"实际成果"，不希望此次会谈成为最后一次。
