In this case, we usually don’t pronounce the first one. For example, last piece. Improve your pronunciation for clear communication 在单词或语句中，当三对爆破音/p/和/b/、/t/和/d/、/k/和/g/之中任何两个相邻时，或当爆破音与一些别的辅音(如/s/、/f/、/v/、/m/、/n/等)相邻时，第一个爆破音只按发音部位形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，稍停即发出后一个辅音，这种现象被称为失去爆破。例如： 失去爆破 Loss of plosion the re(d) coat nex(t) Tuesday bla(ck) coffee a goo(d) friend goo(d) morning las(t) night a doctor an old cat sit down a big blackboard Goodbye!
