跟找你閒談的人講論死亡、審判及其他嚴肅的話題,引起他們的注意,即使他們裝聾,仍能利己益人,來者或是受益而去,或者以後不會再浪費你的時間。

When people come to you in order to pass the time, talk to them of death, judgment, and other such grave matters. Thus their attention will be captured, even though they try to be deaf, and you will benefit both yourself and them. Either they will go away the better, or they will abstain from wasting your time in future.
