LearnTurkish - "İstiyorum"

“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

This story is made from '2000 most common words in English'

The owner spoke, as if he was a host on a TV cooking show. 

“Both these dishes are mighty fine, and soon it will be revealed which will take the title of World’s Best Main Meal.” 

The owner prepared his chopsticks and reached to pick up Little Ball. But then, a mysterious noise sounded, a kind of ring-ring. 

“Ugh, what is it now?” groaned the owner as he returned to the living room. 

Little Ball turned to the serving of shredded, dried kelp. “Did you hear that? World’s Best! That’s us. You’ve got no chance at winning the title.” 

Dried Kelp, who hadn’t made a sound or a movement until now, slowly came to life and said, 
“Whatever, dude, titles are for books…” 

Little Ball whispered to its 5-piece family, “Pfffft, did you hear that? I know Dried Kelp secretly wants the title and we can’t let it win. If it does, then the owner will look down on us, and shame us, and never buy us ever again. We will bring shame to all the unborn octopus balls. No. I won’t allow it. Dried Kelp is the side dish and we’re the main dish.” 

Raising its voice to an intimidating roar, Little Ball, with all of its power, said, “We’re six large balls, but you’re only a few dozen little strips. Good luck beating us!” 

Dried Kelp took a moment to think. “It’s not the amount of pieces that’s important; It’s the owner’s experience that truly matters.” 

Little Ball was confused. Did Dried Kelp just prove my point? We’re less in numbers, but far superior, thought the bite-sized mashed octopus ball. “Exactly, pieces don’t matter—it’s about flavor! And you’re bland!” 

Dried Kelp seemed insulted, or so Little Ball thought.
