LISTENING AND COMPREHENSION OF SPANISH PARAGRAPH 

“显眼包": “显眼”指明显而容易被看到，因而引人注目；“包”用在动词、形容词后面，指具有某种特点的人，原本“显眼包”指爱出风头，出洋相的人（make a fool (out) of），多少带有一点“嫌弃”的意味。但如今，“显眼包”指外在形象或性格特征引人注目的人，夸赞的意思明显。比如说：我的朋友是个“显眼包”。我有一个显眼包的朋友。
【EN】显眼包: "显眼"means obvious and easy to see, thus attracting attention; "包" used after a verb or adjective refers to a person with a certain characteristic. Originally, "显眼包" referred to someone who loves to steal the spotlight or make a fool of themselves, carrying a hint of "嫌弃". But nowadays, "显眼包" refers to a person whose external appearance or personality traits are eye-catching, with a clear meaning of praise. For example: 我的朋友是个显眼包。我有一个显眼包朋友。
ps：引人注目：raw one's attention
        出风头：Show off 
        出洋相：make a fool of yourself
        嫌弃：disdain
        外在形象：outward appearance
