But in 500 BCE – The yakhchal (meaning "ice pit" in Persian;) an ancient Persian type of refrigerator was invented.

但是在公元前500年，古老波斯的冰箱-yakhchal（在波斯语言中意为冰坑）就已经被发明了。

The structure was formed from a mortar resistant to heat transmission, in the shape of a dome.

它是由砂浆构成的，以防止热传递，形状类似于圆顶。

Snow and ice was stored beneath the ground, effectively allowing access to ice even in hot months and allowing for prolonged food preservation.

雪和冰贮藏在地下，能够使冰块在夏季也能够获得，并且有效延长食物保质期。

In Europe and other less developed nations (at the time) spices were used to preserve meat. The most popular being salt since pepper was still expensive and difficult to attain.

在欧洲以及其他少数发达国家（当代）辣椒曾被用于储藏肉类。但是盐会更加的通用，因为辣椒较贵而且不易获得。
