- "mind reading" doesn't seem appropriate
- "examine moods" likewise
- We usually don't mention the origins of idioms, so we can do without "Analects".

在太極堂服務6年的蔡志嘉認為,一位好的按摩師,一接觸到客人的肢體,即應可判斷出施力的輕重大小,而且「察言觀色」很重要,如果客人露出疼痛、肌肉僵硬,或肩聳緊張的神情,就得小心處理。
Having worked in Taichitong for six years, Tsai Chi-chia believes that a good masseur must, after coming into contact with a customer's body, be able to determine the appropriate amount of pressure to apply. It is extremely important to listen and observe. If a customer reveals pain and stiffness or hunched, tightened shoulders, one must proceed with caution.

如何適時給予病患及家屬恰當的協助?胡雅西表示,「察言觀色」和「細心、耐心」是不二法門。她說:「你可以從他們的眼神和肢體語言中讀出他們的需求,並且誠摰而有技巧地上前詢問:你需要幫助嗎?」
How does she know what the patients or their families need, and when to give that help to them? According to Hu, it's mostly a matter of "reading their body and facial language" and "being patient and attentive." "You can generally read what a person needs by the look in their eyes and their body language. Then, with complete sincerity, you can go up to them and tactfully ask what help the need."

LA ~ 觀察言語、表情,以揣摩對方的心意。
例 「與客戶交流,要懂得察言觀色」。
