释义 deem
      A few commentators—Flesch 1964, Fowler 1926, 1965, and Evans 1957—express variously some reservations about the old verb deem. At issue seems to be a use by politicians—including many U.S. presidents—that these people deem pretentious. The word is in wide literary and journalistic use, and has been for generations:
