The amazing transformation from male singer to bearded diva has turned Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst into a global superstar.
“大胡子美女”肯奇塔·沃斯特夺得了欧洲歌唱大赛冠军，这位由男歌手变性的“大胡子美女”一举成为全球超级明星。An audience of around 170million people across the world watched the Austrian triumph when she was awarded a staggering 290 points for her performance of Rise Like a Phoenix in Copenhagen on Saturday night.
奥地利歌手肯奇塔·沃斯特在周六晚上的比赛中演唱了一曲《Rise Like a Phoenix in Copenhagen》，全世界约1.7亿观众见证了她获得高达290的得分。Spoting a full beard and gold embellished fishtail gown, she took to the stage in front of a smokey backdrop, before giving a powerful performance of the song.
沃斯特蓄着络腮胡须，身穿鱼尾礼服，走上烟雾缭绕的舞台，深情演唱了这首歌。
And with the performance earning her a legion of new fans, experts are predicting she could stand to earn as much as £25million, becoming the biggest Eurovision winner since Abba, who triumphed in the 1974 competition.
演唱后沃斯特的粉丝量大涨，有专家预测她接下来将会吸金2500万英镑（约人民币），这会使她成为1974年阿巴乐队夺冠以来最大的欧歌赛赢家。But before transforming into alter-ego Conchita Wurst, the 25-year-old whose real name is Thomas Neuwirth, tried to find fame in a boyband called Jetzt Anders.
但在成为极具个性的“大胡子美女”之前，这位25岁的歌手原名叫做托马斯·莱维斯，他曾在Jetzt Anders乐队中试图扬名歌坛。Early pictures show Thomas clean shaven, without the beard that brought Conchita Wurst to worldwide attention.
从早期的照片可以看出，托马斯下巴干净、没有胡须，这与肯奇塔·沃斯特的吸睛杀手锏“大胡子美女”形成强烈反差。In 2011, Thomas transformed as Conchita Wurst complete with long hair, fluttering eyelashes and the now world-famous beard.
托马斯在2011年变性成为现在的肯奇塔·沃斯特，留着长发、忽闪迷人的睫毛、以及现已闻名世界的大胡子。Conchita was then selected to represent Austria in this year’s Eurovision contest with her eventual victory sending Twitter into a frenzy, generating 5,384,678 tweets.
肯奇塔随后被推选代表奥地利参加今年的欧洲歌唱大赛，最终她赢得了冠军，其报喜推特疯传网络、转载量达5384678条之多。Accepting the trophy, she said: ‘This is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom. We are unity.’
在颁奖仪式上，她说：“把这个奖杯的喜悦奉献给所有相信和平自由的人，我们团结一致！”
