Abstract: The ever-growing global proliferation of translation studies has produced a multitude of research approaches and models, and a great mission as well for scholars in this field to expand views in multicultural contexts for more innovative research approaches and the systematization of translation theories in the new century.The cross-discipline turn of translation studies should refer to the theoretical fruit and research methods of other disciplines which contribute to the complexity and diversity of translation study approaches, and bring effect and inspiration to the studies and practices in other fields vice versa. By retrospection on the growth of translation studies, the author discusses the role of varied research approaches for the disciplinary evolvement of translation studies, probes into the turn of cross-disciplinary comprehensive research of translation, conducts a reflective analysis of the strengthening of translation studies, its construction as a discipline, and the integration with other research paradigms of related disciplines, and finally puts forward the new frontiers and breakthroughs in future international research on translation. Scholars in translation studies are highly expected to get rid of “the only approach” mindset, and hold an open, compatible and international perspective in the discussion of translation studies The findings and analysis in this paper cast light on the significance of grasping the development of translation studies as a discipline and the necessity of sorting out the cutting-edge research interests in this field, and provide references for scholars to identify, from the height of methodology, the new frontiers of international translation studies in the future.
