　　Delegates from six nations attending North Korean nuclear disarmament talks were preparing on Wednesday to submit final comments on a draft of principles meant to move the stalled negotiations forward.
　　But on Tuesday, the main U.S. envoy to the talks, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, said it was possible that the latest round of talks would end without any agreement.
　　"Whether we have a draft that everyone agrees on, or whether it's decided that there should be a recess of some kind, we don't know yet," Hill said, adding that negotiators were "close to the end of this round" after eight days of talks.
　　Recess表示“休息;休假;休会;暂时中断”，例如：an hour's recess at noon(一小时午间休息)。此外，recess还有“壁凹，幽深处”的含义，如：in the inmost recesses of his thoughts(在他思想的最深处);a recess in a coastline(海岸线的凹进处)。
