Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
% P7 W: |% X. x2 Nreduse,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。
& ~( e( f& I8 [3 d9 t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:
! {- B7 G8 y+ P7 ]# D% J+ U2 W; W% C4 v/ N( K* @" z
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."  |$ i3 P6 [- `" \7 L

4 a4 {, N7 G. W. m+ z, S"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."/ f7 `0 H; N1 o) I) G6 T

7 d' v% L6 l1 u* l- }" kIn 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:8 ~: c& h2 S2 y1 ?

' D& M9 A* k- q7 m0 e2 B"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
2 q& w5 X: e- d$ B& C' E+ N: m! E2 m5 r- j( q' k3 S. E# K
"He rejected my idea."
4 r; n* f, W$ g3 K3 I! _, I* Z) N

, y  k1 a! e* a' T, D8 i: r) J
- n. ]2 b9 d3 r: w5 P4 L6 p' A. e& dSome other differences that come to mind:5 g; ?9 I! [# i3 @) R% q

7 T8 @( C8 r" ~! B"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
3 W+ V% O# ]. Y0 m9 v; }* G: k+ z' ^' x
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
2 S5 J9 _$ }# ?& p$ O" x6 W- Z/ `# s. ]4 S
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Difference in Grammar:

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.
