Definition from Wiktionary:
To repost another user's message on the social networking website Twitter.
Example sentences:
As mentioned previously, the likelihood of being on the other end of a retweet increases as you retweet. Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and for the most part bloggers like to return such acts. This isn’t to say that you should expect someone to retweet your content just because you retweet theirs. (Blogging Bits)
There are no set rules about when to retweet, but in general, you should retweet when you find something particularly interesting or noteworthy. (About.com)
If your original post is close to 140 characters, the person retweeting has to edit your post to send it back out. Smells like work? People won’t make extra effort to retweet you if they have to edit your posts. (Chris Pearson)

锐推

Definition from 网易科技:
Retweet被国内用户称为“锐推”,Twitter用户在看到有意思的链接和消息想转发分享时,必须手动将原消息拷贝到消息框,并在前面输入“RT”字符后再发布,以表明这一消息为转发,这种行为被称为Retweet。
Example sentences:
使用Twitter的朋友,八成都知道Retweet(又稱RT,中文暱稱銳推)這項功能的妙用,善用RT不但可以協助散播、轉達自己所認同的訊息,也可藉此在微網誌人脈圈中帶動某項議題討論。 (數位時代)
网易科技讯 12月3日消息 据国外媒体报道,近日有市场传言称,鉴于有用户对Twitter的“锐推”(retweet)功能不满,公司打算取消“锐推”功能,其位于页面右侧工具栏以及转推功能的选项都将随之消失。 (网易科技)
锐推的意思就是转载他人的消息,是类似于引用的一种功能。一些专家说,推特的做法会抑制锐推的对话意义,而另一些专家预测,这将创造一种全新的沟通方式。 (21世纪网)
