On the day Bayeux tapestry tickets were released, Megan Stockwell was at the beach. She was so determined to lock down(锁定，确保得到) her spot, that she sat with her toes in the sand for an hour, waiting in the online queue(在网上排队等候).
贝叶挂毯门票开售那天，梅根·斯托克韦尔正在海滩上。她铁了心要抢到一个名额，于是脚趾埋在沙子里坐了一个小时，在网上排队等候。
“The whole ticket buying experience felt like what other people would do to get Taylor Swift tickets. I was like, ‘oh God, am I, like, the geek version of this(这件事的极客版)?’” she recalled.
“整个购票体验就像别人抢泰勒·斯威夫特演唱会门票一样。我当时想，‘天哪，我是不是成了这件事的极客版？’”她回忆道。
Like any committed Swiftie(泰勒·斯威夫特粉丝), Stockwell felt confident the experience would be worth the hassle and cost. As a self-professed Francophile, she was fascinated by how the tapestry, which is temporarily housed at the British Museum until next July, tells the story of the Franco-British relationship through the Norman conquest, culminating in the battle of Hastings.(作为自称的亲法者，她对这幅挂毯如何通过诺曼征服讲述英法关系的故事深深着迷，挂毯暂存于大英博物馆至明年七月，故事在黑斯廷斯战役中达到高潮。)
像任何一位忠实的斯威夫特粉丝一样，斯托克韦尔确信这次经历值得费心又花钱。她自称亲法者，对这幅挂毯如何通过诺曼征服、直至黑斯廷斯战役来讲述英法关系的故事深深着迷。挂毯目前暂存于大英博物馆，将展至明年七月。
