As a part of Chinese academic system, Chinese native translation theory has undoubtedly played a vital role in the realization of Chinese academic “going abroad” which can not only establish Chinese academic power of discourse internationally, break the centralism of Western academic discourse, but also show the charm of Chinese academic theories to the world. Chinese native translation theory “going abroad” is a reflection of self-value, but also realizes the dialogue between Chinese and Western academic thoughts to enrich the theoretical system of translation studies in the world. However, the proportion of international papers and monographs on Chinese native translation theories published on the whole is relatively small, the acceptance of translation theories abroad is not high, and the dissemination of Chinese native translation theories is unsatisfactory. The reasons are mainly reflected in the lack of Chinese scholars’ own international communication awareness, limited English writing ability, and poor means of effective communication. In view of this, in order to promote Chinese native translation theory to “go abroad” and enhance discourse power of Chinese academics, the article proposes to realize the internationalization of Chinese native translation theory from four aspects: enhancing the international communication awareness of Chinese scholars, strengthening theoretical rewriting, improving English writing skills, and diversifying overseas communication methods.
