Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
2 N7 H: C3 f  ]0 D- d7 Mreduse,主观上拒绝,就是说我不愿意接受,不管你的东西合格还是不合格,我就是不喜欢。
3 O( W5 R7 ?( G* C7 d这是我自己感觉的,不知道对不对。

In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:8 w' w, Y: e% M' f, o+ C

8 j( L, H7 S6 d; K"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."1 q( G4 X, o- p0 R* n1 B
/ S, B# W+ ~/ ~5 z' O6 x% @- p
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
5 o: T# `) e0 p# g7 N- s- `! I
4 C1 ^# `; R0 MIn other contexts, "to reject something" implies that something is taken into one's possession, or is under one's consideration, but is then a decision is subsequently taken to return or discard it. In these cases, "reject" is often preferred to "refuse". For example:+ x2 d4 U$ Y* o' ]7 }" P: ~
% e2 q, b: `# C1 W. K
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
) L& V4 z& f: Z- |5 Q
8 J8 E+ u( s, r" ^6 ^"He rejected my idea."
3 G4 b. Y8 t. W3 j4 m) c

* A+ a  n2 M" `. ?# [0 A* D
Some other differences that come to mind:
' Z$ I, i/ C2 i& W; I( r' [0 {
: e" Z9 H0 K9 a: I"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.  f  T, O% ?/ k8 S* K$ s2 E* J
: a+ G, c5 A9 B/ K- B- S
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
0 C0 L( N& r3 Z2 J8 u. Z
) f4 ]7 w4 O* ~; c4 P, t' l: q- VYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Other opinions:
+ A6 H8 `+ [+ J- D, L' E
+ k5 O5 T7 ?: P) QThey are synonyms and can often be used in the same sentence. Both mean you do not receive or accept something (a physical thing or an idea, suggestion, etc.).
' L/ W' y0 D7 h, P3 _, Q"I refused / rejected his job offer."/ f6 i  A. s. H7 v
Difference in Grammar:
- |6 ]7 l. I0 O! i8 ?"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.

2 Z" F' o1 u# n3 N- YThere is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle./ c* `, `4 [. A& w

3 z8 y* Z0 ]3 k3 u3 ~( bRefuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.
* w! K" E! j3 R* \/ d
8 h' ?/ x" I+ b9 E6 h- n6 z"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!". c/ ?2 a, N: a3 g: a

Another word carrying the similar meaning is "decline," which appears to be more polite. For instance, my request to have a two-month vacation in the summer was declined.
