I find the ask price is always greater than bid price in market depth
what is the relationship among ask bid and last trade price?
thank you

Ask is always above the bid. Participants sell on the ask and buy on the bid. That's why market depth has ask on the right and bid on the left.
The relationship to last trade really has no use. There could be several factors for it.
Are you referring to an outside print?

when you look at the size on the 5 bid prices and the 5 ask prices,it can be decieving,the old addage ,market always trades to size,is mostly not always true,when the big money wants to buy they throw up a lot of size offers hoping to keep the price low while they are buying and pull them 1 price at a time as the mrket moves up and vice versa,so if today you saw there were a lot more offers than bids and the market went up,that is why.
