Based on the core theory of functional translation approach----Skopos Theorie, the author presents a case study of the humorous language in the popular American sitcom The Big Bang Theory by analyzing the strategies that the translator adopts when translating the humors in this sitcom. It is suggested in this thesis that the translator should take the reproduction of the humorous effects of the source language as the chief principle and choose appropriate translating strategies to make the target audience perceive the humor of the source language in accordance with their expectations to experience foreign culture and customs of the target languages.
