Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
& E9 ?& ]2 w: E! E: Vreduse,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。6 {1 y, ?& f7 S6 l/ m
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:
$ f/ T3 `8 |, h5 F) k3 h3 u5 c9 Z5 ~6 G8 ^
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
4 S3 J) G- V: S# w+ Z
  z! r: Q' Z# G0 o8 P"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."! P: R' [% y. m$ l" j+ N. V! g  m

' e/ o) E/ i( G- Z4 e0 AIn 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:
& \- H; @) g. ?3 ~- B/ ]6 F2 T& H5 r* |, I" I$ ]9 d
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." ; _. j. v: m; v3 @6 W2 `" `
' Z' X* v- ~; W% a
"He rejected my idea."2 G' a6 d, f, ]6 H: j

! j3 v2 g! J! S- D"I applied for the job but was rejected."
: y: y6 ^8 q& o4 p, f1 X2 O; {# i: x0 ?1 {6 e. V; {
Some other differences that come to mind:
( D8 z7 F7 F1 e7 b3 O, b4 q* H, y: M; |7 l6 Z' ~
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.5 U4 Q* g9 c3 Q$ q% V2 b7 o
, s' u+ X* p- |/ T! k9 K9 ~
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.  X6 s5 s/ J2 O5 |) |% v* P

/ t. G; n' `+ k( pYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

" ]5 e* ~/ R6 f! W9 Y: gThey 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.).

6 i+ K, z# Y2 M3 y9 WDifference in Grammar:+ V" a. l( T& u4 T
"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.: p! C; G+ l, d- r- ?9 n8 x

& w: [# n4 g' o' h5 Q, H* X5 r; [0 X* O% M; \8 m7 C* [3 m4 H+ Z
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something. 3 R/ f& k$ u2 O% ~3 A% ~9 o

7 J" j! m: B0 ^' E  Y3 Q"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"' u8 p& @/ z9 T0 @) n; t

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.
