something: 真有一套！有两下子！

2. Nothing like leather 王婆卖瓜，自卖自夸

Don't trust these smooth talking insurance agents, what they say is nothing like leather.
别相信那些花言巧语的保险推销员，他们就知道“王婆卖瓜，自卖自夸”。

释义：乃一英国典故。从前有个市镇被敌人围攻，市议会召集市民商量对策，石匠提议构筑石墙，船匠提议构筑木墙。最后，制革匠站起来说，“There's nothing like leather"。直译是什么也不如皮革号，意译就是：“王婆卖瓜，自卖自夸”。
