give cause for optimism Explanation: Yet another option! Your text reads quite neutrally in style as far as I can see, and I've tried to reflect this. I agree that "looks promising" sounds more natural than the literal translation, which, as you say, we'd never say in English, but I'm worried that your original option is a bit informal? HTH |
