In 1972 James Holmes designed a structure of translation studies and provided the theoretical basis for the discipline to move towards independency. Later in 1995 Gideon Toury made out of it “Holmes’ ‘map’ of translation studies”, which has played a positive role in visually publicizing Holmes’ design and propelling the development of the discipline. However, Toury’s “map” has some deficiencies, such as omitting several lower-order classifications, misconnecting the relationship between some branches, excluding the ultimate goals of some branches, and even neglecting such important branch as “study of translation studies”. Such a misshaped map has hindered a full understanding of Holmes’ design. Therefore, the paper makes a more complete and accurate ‘map’ of Holmes’ translation studies with a closer reference to his 1972 paper. The new map, by correcting the deficiencies of Toury’s map through readjusting the relationships between branches and adding the lower-order classifications, the goals of the three branches of DTS, and especially the “study of translation studies” branch, gives a thorough representation of Holmes’ thought on the disciplinary structure of translation studies and should help judge more objectively the historical contribution and academic value that Holmes’ design deserves.
