参考答案
试题解析
phonetics is of a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages: how they are produced, how they differ from each other what phonetic features they possess, how they can be classified, etc. 语音学的研究具有一般的性质，它所感兴趣的是人类语言中所涉及的所有的语音现象：它们的发音方法，相互之间的区别，分别具有什么什么样的语音特征，如何进行分类等；
Phonology is interested in the system of sounds of a particular language; it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication. 音系学所感兴趣的是某一特定的语言中的语音系统，它旨在示一种语言中的语音形成组合的方式，以及它们是如何在语言交际活动中被用来传导意义的。
所以应该把phonetics语音学改为Phonology音系学。
