Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。- h. L$ V; B. R- K; z7 f  J
reduse,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 {% c; E% M3 l/ g4 c
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:
# t2 ^5 A) z! N- p  L- `
2 q& A, \0 u3 H+ ?"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift.", H7 r! S4 ^. _- @! h

9 p- l7 N% s& K' [! R9 B( b"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
! H6 k3 N& c4 J/ \" I
; ^5 C: R8 s+ H. dIn 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:2 M, E5 ?: B6 B" Z
- d, S$ X, Y& ]" i& K* X
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." % U9 _  J& F. |( Z
# m' R2 Q: r- C' U; p0 {
"He rejected my idea."
$ w3 j, M5 h% l. ?
  X" M! s  R& v' R"I applied for the job but was rejected."7 [9 T% `0 o+ F- R: j. ?

4 }, u) z! G# N$ G8 }7 A* d3 z) jSome other differences that come to mind:
/ @* ^  E# i/ o- `% r% h
: ^* E! u- f' u: p$ ]8 P  g"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
4 ?# D/ Z( A4 Y7 \3 v/ x# ~. D3 g% n6 q6 A; ]2 B( L- u
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't., ^/ ]3 O; r- C9 c6 Z

4 d# U1 K) j( D, I9 W; }# SYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.% ^! ^' g4 P) g) q2 n3 I
