Question

telescope 【TELESCOPE】He was studying the stars through a telescope.他透过望远镜研究星辰。【重点词汇】telescope n. 望远镜

Accepted Answer

['telɪskoʊp] 
telescopea magnifier of images of distant objects
A telescope is an instrument that is used to view distant objects. If you want to look at the planets, you can use a telescope. The higher the magnification on the telescope, the better your view will be.
Galileo is often credited with the invention of the telescope, but this is incorrect. Although he did not invent it, he did improve it — a lot. He didn't name the telescope either. That honor went to Greek mathematician Giovanni Demisiani, who gave the instrument its name when Galileo presented the instrument at the Accademia dei Lincei, a science society in Italy, in 1611. Telescope is from the Greek roots tele (meaning "far") and skopos (meaning "seeing"); so the word literally describes what the instrument does.
