Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。! X# H7 Z/ o& j4 U3 y* r
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。7 y9 R2 L( c' p: Z! X, \: |

In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:* z/ w( i* R+ P. t

: j5 C0 w5 W( X2 i3 ]( U& R7 D"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."! x  g- @& _4 r7 O% w$ z5 ?9 m. u

) G% m4 }9 |; C( Q! a# H"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
( h5 G3 t3 ?1 m1 `" I+ G! g5 _6 B/ c2 q! N1 G* m3 R1 o
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:
. |: b7 I/ S( y
1 N' n, ~4 |, D! k$ h"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." 7 M# W+ B; n9 m
1 s4 d3 t2 o+ q. J
"He rejected my idea."' B  ], n2 ~' I' m+ P$ P) S) Y
% @9 U9 S5 a% e7 H  z- A
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
3 [" [$ i; p$ H/ \2 C0 [
* u, l7 Y* d1 `4 D. \' OSome other differences that come to mind:
8 V8 k' @2 K. L# j. a3 A7 i; V+ m  x6 j# t9 R
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.: T6 R$ p2 x# ]) J2 m
1 l$ j, ?6 [7 u9 ~  Y: V' I( F
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
( S; f7 b" `% Z; M$ }+ M
! A  }+ T/ I" e; z& bYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Other opinions:% u. k! B) Z, V7 J  x  m

# M, `2 n( {: ^% v  z9 xThey 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.).
4 l6 x+ |0 |% w0 `* y! j6 D"I refused / rejected his job offer."0 {& M% k9 @1 A5 I+ a' u# `3 N# I
Difference in Grammar:+ u  |4 N; i3 S" I8 M; t0 f
"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.
2 e5 Y6 O8 p. \& d9 `) O
0 W6 F% ~: _" n% v2 e$ @1 S/ nThere is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.
3 a3 O- j! P0 A8 o2 A, E8 G& `6 x9 P* V' S9 _# F
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.
3 T8 l/ U$ G4 I5 `$ A: T
5 ~- B) d' t* S4 N"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"
' L! z$ d- n) L6 A/ U9 @! i( |6 ~0 p" P

/ c" p5 M$ f+ G5 F9 l1 \7 M" E& y
"The company will reject any application that doesn't have a cover letter attached."

If you want to kiss your girlfriend, but she doesn't want it, SHE rejected you.

! d. e& ~2 s& cAnother 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.
