He is a different kettle of fish


Explanation:
A different kettle of fish (informal): a person or thing that is completely different from somebody/something else previously mentioned.

با توجه به جمله‌ی پیشین متن، مناسب‌ترین معادل همین اصلاح ذکر‌شده است چون تفاوت شدید فرد موردنظر با افرادی که در جمله‌ی پیشین ذکر شده را نشان می‌دهد.

رییس فرهنگ گفته بوده: «من از این لیسانسیه‌های پرافاده نمی‌خواهم که سیگار به دست توی هر اطاقی سر می‌کنند.» و یارو برایش گفته بوده که اصلاً و ابداً ..! فلانی همچین و همچون است و مثقالی هفت صنار با دیگران فرق دارد
