摘要：

在电影声音研究中，静默常被认为是“声音的缺席”，然而在电影声音的创作和鉴赏中，静默则被认为是一种具有审美能动性与结构效能的积极表达形式。结合国内外声音研究可知，叙事推进、情感心理、感知反差、节奏调整与主题象征五个功能，体现了静默在电影表情达意方面多样的功能机制。这种貌似无声的状态可以激活观众感知、参与意义建构，并形成电影中独特的艺术魅力。

Abstract:

In film sound studies, silence is often regarded simply as the ‘absence of sound’. However, in both the production and reception of cinematic sound, silence can function as an active expressive form with its own aesthetic agency and structural efficacy. Drawing on scholarship on film sound in China and internationally, this article examines five functions of cinematic silence—narrative progression, emotional and psychological expression, perceptual contrast, rhythmic modulation, and thematic symbolism—to demonstrate the diverse ways in which silence generates and communicates meaning. Far from constituting a purely soundless state, cinematic silence can activate spectators’ perceptual engagement, participate in the construction of meaning, and produce a distinctive aesthetic experience.
