Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
! u4 y" n- K) ~& greduse,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。/ T/ q, I9 ~0 h( W
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:6 V2 I# p/ ~! @4 F. m0 p6 I; ?
8 p( g8 q- o9 u- T
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
. @2 Z! k0 W1 h- a2 G5 K) A+ N0 N) h9 h* C: j( d, A
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
, x! O) s; V% O+ j( t7 q& F7 G2 M! L8 D* t4 y* ]
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:2 D) R% X2 m2 V. Z- v
* G0 j$ [2 f& n8 s( [: ]5 L$ p
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
1 p' x% c: u7 E( V9 z8 o( T9 E# E; k  W6 W& D
"He rejected my idea."
, N. _6 `, r- O9 f  b3 ?& V# ^/ K8 Y7 f
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
* Q' @* T+ b) G* F3 Y9 v: _# c: q
Some other differences that come to mind:. s0 `, |% }( W0 G' E5 g/ a) c
2 G6 v5 X! M2 U8 b* S
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
- y, d. P, x& e; t0 R4 s  g1 Z1 ^) j4 h3 d6 q( K( m6 ]
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
3 l; Z0 k& K, j5 }9 S2 I' _4 H1 o8 L; G3 f# h
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".
