Leo, trawl, off-guard, to fish, hand sth out, stash away

Guarding the Library

Genizah, a Hebrew term that loosely translates as "storage", refers to a storeroom adjacent to a synagogue or Jewish cemetery where Hebrew-language books and papers are kept. Under Jewish law, it is forbidden to throw away writings containing the formal names of God, so they are either buried or stashed away.
希伯來文的Genizah可被粗略譯為「貯藏室」，指的是在猶太教堂或墓園旁邊的一間貯藏室，用來存放希伯來文書籍和文件。根據猶太教法令，任何寫有上帝正式姓名的文件都不得被丟棄，因此這些文件多被埋在地底或貯藏起來。

Do the lion sculptures in front of the New York Public Library have names? When Edward Clark Potter sculpted the two lions that guard the entrance of the New York Public Library, they were called "Leo Astor" and "Leo Lenox," after John Jacob Astor and James Lenox, whose private libraries had been merged to form the library's foundation of books. Later, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia renamed them "Patience" and "Fortitude," for the characteristics shown by New Yorkers in the Great Depression. On this date in 1911, the library's main branch — at the time the largest marble structure ever built in the United States — was dedicated by President William H. Taft. It had taken 16 years to build. The building's main reading room is 78 ft (23.8 m) wide by 297 ft (90.5 m) long, with ceilings 52 ft (15.8 m) high. The library has some 2 million cardholders, and its collection grows by some 10,000 items a week.
