三星堆遗址及文物的发现，有力地证明了三四千年前古蜀国的存在和中华文明起源的多元性。

The discovery of the Sanxingdui site and its cultural relics is a strong proof of the existence of the ancient Shu State and the pluralism of the origin of Chinese civilization.

其实作为一处文化遗迹，三星堆早在上个世纪三十年代就进入了考古学家的视野和探索之中。

1929年春，四川广汉农民燕道诚在自家门前意外发现了一些精美的玉器，由此拉开了三星堆文明的研究序幕。

It all began when a farmer called Yan Daocheng accidentally dug out a number of jade objects in deepening an irrigation ditch in the spring of 1929.

In the summer of 1986， two large-scale sacrificial pits were discovered at Sanxingdui, dating back to the Shang dynasty. Thousands of rare treasures wereunearthed and made quite a stir.

在这批古蜀秘宝中，有许多光怪陆离、奇异诡谲的青铜和黄金器物：

Among these treasures, there are large numbers of bronze and gold wares.
