繪本內容翻譯：

It was raining, but the sun wasshining at the same time.The children looked up and saw a rainbow acrossthe sky.

“ I wonder where the rainbow begins?" asked Wilf,and where it ends?"

下雨天，但同時太陽燦爛。孩子們抬起頭來，看到天空中有一道彩虹。

“我想知道彩虹是從哪里開始的，”Wilf問，“它的盡頭在哪里?”

In a place far away, there was a lorry. It wasa very big lorry because on the back was a verybig machine.' The machine made rainbows andwas called The Rainbow Machine.

There are seven colours in the rainbow. It tookseven people to look after the rainbow machine.They cleaned it and polished it and they madesure it worked properly.

在一個很遠的地方，有一輛卡車。那是一輛非常大的卡車，因為在后面是一臺非常大的機器。這臺機器可以制造彩虹，被稱為彩虹機器。

彩虹中有七種顏色。讓七個人來照看彩虹機。他們把它擦干凈，擦亮，然后維修。

The rainbow machine had to be ready at anytime. Sometimes weeks and weeks went by and a rainbow was not needed. But when the call came, the rainbow makers had to work fast.

Off they went in the lorry. While it was goingalong, the rainbow makers got the machine ready.Then, one... two.. .three... Go! They pressed abutton and the rainbow shot out of the machine.

彩虹機器必須隨時準備就緒。有時幾個星期過去，不需要彩虹。但是當電話響起的時候，彩虹制造制造者們不得不快速地工作。

他們從卡車上走了。當它前進的時候，彩虹制造者把機器準備好了。然后,一…二 . . .三…走吧!他們按下了一個按鈕，彩虹就從機器里噴了出來。

When there was a rainbow, everyone stoppedto look at it. Childrenran to their mums or dadsand said, What a beautiful rainbow!

Sometimes the rainbow was very bright butsometimes it was quite pale. Often the childrenran towards it. They wanted to find the end of it,and play in all the colours. But, of course, they never could.

當有彩虹的時候，每個人都停下來看。孩子們跑向他們的媽媽或爸爸說:“多么美麗的彩虹!”

有時彩虹很亮，但有時很蒼白。孩子們常常朝它跑過去。他們想找到它的盡頭，并在所有的顏色中玩耍。但是，當然，他們永遠也找不到。

One of the rainbow makers was a young mancalled Fred. He was new and he was learning tobe a rainbow maker. One day, the other i rainbowmakers said, I ook after the lorry, Fred. We won’tbe long."

The lorry was on a double yellow line. Fred saw a traffic warden.

'Oh no! 'said Fred. "I must move the rainbow machine."

So he climbed into the driver's cab and drove away.

彩虹制造者之一有一個叫Fred的年輕人。他是新來的，他正在學習做一個制造彩虹。有一天，另一個人說，我去找卡車制造彩虹。不會很久的。”

卡車開在一條雙黃線上。Fred看到一個交通管理員。

'噢,不!'Fred說。"我必須移動彩虹機。”

于是他爬上司機的駕駛室，開車走了。
