Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands ofyears ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve ( 保存) the dead.Stealing salt was considered a major crime ( 罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, hecould be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carriedsalt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed along the route to protectagainst salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt ”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt ”, is still used today in English.In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used inmaking glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds ( 杂草). It is also used to makewater soft, to melt ( 融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground.Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important rolein the lives of people everywhere.。
