核心问题
One wants to meet like-minded collectors, to get advice, to compare notes, to exchange articles, to show off the latest find. (New Concept English, Book 3, L. 59)
[原译]收藏者都想拜访志趣相投的收藏者,征求意见,核实笔记,交换物品和介绍最新的收藏品。(中译本)
词典解答
常用短语 compare notes 不能按字面意义译为“核实笔记”，而应译为“交换意见”“共同讨论”（exchange thoughts or ideas；discuss together）。例如：
-
After comparing notes we found that we both had the same opinion of Jones's work. 在交换意见之后，我们发现我们对琼斯的工作的看法是一致的。
-
At the meeting, workers, cadres and technicians compared notes on the technical problems that had cropped up in production. 会上，工人、干部和技术人员就生产中出现的技术问题交换了意见。
[试译]你会希望结识志趣相投的收藏家,征求意见,交流心得,交换收藏品,炫耀最新收藏的珍品。
