中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
这是一个由人造光源照射在冰雪覆盖的尼亚加拉河瀑布上所产生的彩虹，它是光的特技效果，是向我们揭示世界的一个奇迹。光影响着我们的生物钟，它牵动我们的头脑对颜色的感知。光给与我们温饱，因为它给与作物以生长的能量。光带给我们改变生活的东西，从普通的白炽灯泡到激光及光导纤维。甚至科学家们都不完全了解光是什么，它又能做些什么。他们只知道光能照亮我们的未来。

英文注释：
Rainbow, Niagara Falls, New York, 2001

Rainbows, such as this one produced by artificial light shone on an icy Niagara Falls, are just one special effect of light, a marvel that reveals the world to us. Light sets our biological clocks. It triggers in our brains the sensation of color. Light feeds us, supplying the energy for plants to grow. It gives us life-changing tools, from incandescent bulbs to lasers and fiber optics. Scientists don't fully understand what light is or what it can do. They just know that it will illuminate our future.
