Rests represent periods of silence in a measure.
(休止意味着在一小节中的一段时间保持静音)
Each type of rest shares a duration with a certain type of note.
(不同的休止方式对应不同的休止符)
While the note would make a sound, the rest is silent.
(但音符发声,休止符不发声)
To demonstrate this, let's fill a measure of 4/4 time with quarter notes.
(演示一下,把一个四四拍的小节填满四分音符)
Next, we will replace the second quarter note with a quarter rest.
(然后,第二拍用一个四分休止符代替四分音符)
Next, let's discuss the other types of rests.
(接下来,我们看一下剩余的几种休止符)
A whole rest occupies the same amount of time as a whole note.
(全休止符所代表的时值和一个全音符的时值相等)
It is drawn as a box descending from the fourth staff line.
(它的形状是在五线谱第四线向下伸出的一个小方块)
A half rest occupies the same amount of time as a half note.
(二分休止符所代表的时值和一个二分音符的时值相等)
It is drawn as a box ascending from the middle staff line.
(它的形状是在五线谱中间线向上伸出的一个小方块)
Although rarer, rests can have three or more flags.
(虽然不常用,但休止符也可以有三条甚至更多符尾)
