这个词来自词根“salt” 盐。

在古代欧洲，盐很贵重，很多古罗马士兵会发专门的钱买盐。

In ancient times, salt was very valuable. Roman soldiers were given a sum of money to buy salt. Their pay was called “salarium”. (字面意思就是买盐的钱)

慢慢地，salarium这个词逐渐用来指代发给士兵的军饷以及发给罗马帝国官员的报酬。Over time, salarium was used to mean the money paid the soldiers, and even the officials of the Roman Empire.

最后，这个词用来统指“薪水、薪资”。

意思是你们的使命要让这个世界变得更加有味道，更加光明。

* above the salt  地位高

中世纪时期，大概英国的伊丽莎白一世时代，王公贵族们的餐桌上都摆着一个很大的盐罐，贵族首领坐在餐桌的头部，就是above the salt，盐罐上方位置，表示上等位置。所以，above the salt表示地位很高。
