Abstract:

As an independent discipline, Translation Studies is integrated with four aspects of translation traditions: translation practice, translation theories, translation education, as well as much contribution from other disciplines of social science since 1950s. it is true of the fact that Translation Studies is interdisciplined. However, the interdisciplinary trait should not be found to be an excuse for nonboundary and nonsystematization of Translation Studies. In the new context of globalization and bigdata, Translation Studies should keep its own independence, sorting out its logic relationships, setting its definite theoretical boundary, and optimizing its system.

Key words: disciplinary awareness, disciplinary systematization,  Translation Studies
