During the cold and rainy off-season a man arrives in a seaside town and, giving his name only as Pierre, checks into the only hotel which remains open. His arrival arouses curiosity and a degree of suspicion, as people note that he appears to know the area, yet gives no explanation for his presence at that bleak time of year in the dead-end town. 　　译文(2): 在寒冷多雨的淡季，一个男人来到一个海边小镇，他只说自己叫皮埃尔，住进了唯一一家还开着的旅馆。他的到来引起了人们的好奇和一定程度的怀疑，因为人们注意到，他似乎知道这个地区，但没有解释他为什么会在一年中那个阴冷的季节出现在这个死胡同里。
