Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
" I" I5 s, _! ]' q4 ~& 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。; \5 [' [- [* v; u: |
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:
4 ~9 W0 Z; N4 j  e4 H: \- |9 B9 d" i) h6 ^
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
. f$ x% {9 U' ~9 _3 D1 A
) q- E# W2 ^' ^; @+ N8 M"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."6 l) i2 U# F! [$ j0 I# w3 s/ a
' U# n: I6 i! a( `  M; B* n
In 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:
7 ^9 f3 {! W+ E( r$ ~+ Z  P/ i; \$ d! w2 L% |; z$ s
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." # {- _0 @$ ^' r9 m% R
+ k! e& V* a, \8 R. d
"He rejected my idea."
" c  _, {8 G% [0 K4 p1 v" h* t5 j: i& Z& N
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
! Y. ?3 L" ~9 v3 ~: D* Q$ L5 k9 {( Y: |) e
Some other differences that come to mind:
( W7 m% Y3 j; }7 \0 z# F$ ]6 K" l& l- a! Y
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.* d6 M7 q; m4 T, U/ e$ M8 K

1 H# y8 L3 q& F"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.6 ^5 B6 `6 H& m1 V$ z, C3 W: o

# ]' E7 n! {0 y: n- _0 l% ]) cYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.

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.
