Loss of plosion(失去爆破)
When two plosive consonants (e.g. /t/, /d/, /p/, /b/, /k/ or /g/) are next to each other, we do not pronounce the first one, and there is usually a short pause between them. We call this the loss of plosion. The following are
some examples:
Listen and repeat.
(1) Gla(d) to meet you.
(2) This is a goo(d) book about memory tips.
(3) That was the bes(t) day of my life!
(4) I fel(t) bad about what happened.
(5) Mos(t) people have moments of forgetfulness.
