Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
: M# t1 e( i& I( U" F7 Q% z- Zreduse,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。' y* x* g6 l! z/ u( ?" {$ U

In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:7 g) B" W' e# o" g' P0 Y! Y& X

; X6 z( d4 @0 i6 ?"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."4 \+ g% U0 D; r" M

3 {4 z- I% l# t8 V, ]) P6 v- m+ F"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."" L( M% S- K! b0 r4 W' z6 l
0 ?+ U0 m) R# x' e* f! ]- ]$ Q9 p
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:
  F  i& [" d( h; d- n; T! I% @9 S5 j* v! W* c
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
' X7 E; v3 i# C4 `: j/ w) ^( Y& f" e" b! j: \- P
"He rejected my idea."+ b/ s+ D3 o8 J+ ]; C
9 u6 y7 M( u' l. o% H' @& [
"I applied for the job but was rejected."
" a3 o+ G) y3 ]8 ?7 f) K. G% B5 p, F' f" _6 L7 `7 T
Some other differences that come to mind:
$ c2 W) }4 O5 y4 A; `5 ^. M4 y. V8 l; j9 c( A6 {7 R+ ^
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.3 F8 t- f- t8 ]) ^2 u2 D

, r7 o3 n" q8 s"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
# ]0 Y9 f3 k: Y& W& h; \8 v* V1 Q$ k; i+ u) m8 y
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Other opinions:
" }/ d" J8 L# e  ]# S
+ X' B( A, G2 L- y8 AThey 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.).# N' R8 T9 H0 w- Y
"I refused / rejected his job offer."" \0 `, V% d' y0 \+ }# D
Difference in Grammar:% W( k) v2 S2 Y4 I
"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.# M) U" M% e3 R  t& W

There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.
% W0 K. D& h4 {3 V) s/ r5 g# J( f( h) y/ {; f6 v: O
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.

Reject can be used to not accept something that is broken, not working properly, not in good shape/order.
