GIF(东道)到底怎么读?
1)首先,native speakers不分离GIF这三个字。
就像App, 不念a/p/p/, 而是念æp.
2) Native speakers有两种念法:
dʒɪf
ɡɪf
The jury is still out. 还没有定论。
两种念法都可以,都比三个字母分开念好。
GIF之父怎么说?
Steve Wilhite, the inventor of GIF, declared it should be pronounced “jif,” like the brand of peanut butter, rather than with a hard G sound:
GIF发明者Steve Wilhite说应该念“jif”,不是G的音。(美国有个知名的花生酱品牌就叫Jif)。

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format: 图像互换格式
