German singer Lena has won the Eurovision Song Contest, the continent's biggest musical competition, which allowed musicians from 25 countries to shrug off the economic gloom shrouding Europe, at least for a day.

德国歌手Lena成为今年欧洲歌大赛冠军。这场比赛估计也是在最近的经济不景气情况下，能让人暂时放松的一次消遣。

Since the competition began in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1956, each participating European nation has put forward a singer or group to perform a specially written song.

欧洲歌唱大赛最早在1956年举办，自此每年每个参赛国家都会派出自己的歌手。

The list of previous winners reflects the eclectic musical tastes of countries.

往届的获奖者名单显示了不同国家的不同音乐偏好。

The contest is also known for its political edge, as nations either give zero points to traditional enemies -- or, if they are enjoying good relations, the maximum number of points, as a sign of friendship.

欧洲歌唱大赛也包含了很多政治元素，敌对国家相互打分就很低，而外交关系良好的国家往往会给对方的选手打高分。
