The author comprehensively examines the history and current state of translation studies and proposes the view of considering translation studies as an independent discipline. The author incorporates the strengths of both linguistic and literary translation theories, based on the Gestalt holistic theory, advocating an integrated approach to translation studies. Additionally, the author objectively analyzes the influence of related disciplines on translation studies and introduces and summarizes recent trends in translation theoretical research. Mary Snell-Hornby draws on the strengths and advantages of both linguistic and literary translation theories, proposing the establishment of translation studies as an independent discipline. She applies theories such as Gestalt holistic theory and frame semantics to guide and advocate an integrated approach to translation studies. This not only greatly broadens the horizons of translation scholars but also provides a theoretical basis for reference for translation studies in our country, offering certain guiding significance for the development of translation studies in China.
