Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。  X( b+ M+ H1 _6 N
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。, ]! O- i: w$ ~& g: F3 C
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 L: X4 K, q# s5 G* H% ]" l% o5 G; Q9 x& d# R
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
) g9 i( }; K7 H8 X& {& R) P% O" `; C; ~* o/ n
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
+ E0 G$ Y( Q" }5 l" o0 ^7 Z4 [  w
% D5 x$ r/ ?9 c3 oIn 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:
, V$ T, f; W0 M, B' X% _- l0 J  V
6 \, H9 N1 X. o% W* v% E% Z/ i"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
0 X" `2 S4 V3 y6 }; [

: a4 y; B8 ]- B% {% H% g"I applied for the job but was rejected."
( Q9 u/ c  h! Z+ C
9 Z" |, E& f* w  F3 d; Y5 GSome other differences that come to mind:+ @  b1 H% J# S3 m2 {5 T% ]% P

" j& J5 d. b: f- x7 ]& I9 l& q"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
8 F6 \' d1 r) v, O0 c
4 G4 M3 y+ D6 h- O"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't., r# k% H* p8 ?" P8 p
( ]! Q* y+ f6 ~+ ?6 `
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

They 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.).- h4 ]. q% E8 G- U

Difference in Grammar:* R/ f+ F% @0 @- j- O
"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.
