核心畫面

You can think of it as the arc of colours that appears in the sky when sunlight and falling rain meet: the light passes through the water drops and opens out into a band of colours, always curved, always in the part of the sky away from the sun.

可以想成太陽和雨同時出現時,天上掛出來的那道彩色弧線:陽光穿過空中的小水滴被拆開,紅橙黃綠一層層排好,永遠是弧形,也更多收起可以想成太陽和雨同時出現時,天上掛出來的那道彩色弧線:陽光穿過空中的小水滴被拆開,紅橙黃綠一層層排好,永遠是弧形,也永遠出現在背對太陽的那半邊天。這個詞只有這一個畫面,其他用法(rainbow of colours、rainbow coalition)都是借這道弧線「多種顏色排在一起」的樣子。
