翻译文:  Rube Goldberg可能是所有Rubes中最有名的。他是一位最着名的漫画家，他创造了一种复杂的发明，在一个非常迂回的方式中完成了一项简单的任务。 （Mousetrap的游戏是基于Goldberg的发明。）今天，他的名字居住在Rube Goldberg比赛中，高中和大学生竞争创造机器，在最复杂的过程中完成最简单的任务。

原文:  Rube Goldberg is probably the best known of all Rubes. He was a cartoonist best known for creating convoluted inventions that did a simple task in a very roundabout way. (The board game Mousetrap is based on Goldberg's inventions.) Today, his name lives on in the Rube Goldberg Competition, in which high school and college students compete to create machines that do the simplest tasks in the most complex of processes.
