Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。% R& }! u. G4 ?5 S/ f- Z
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。

In some contexts, "to reject something" can mean very much the same as "to refuse something". For example:! C- b8 v3 ]! S3 z8 W7 C  A
( q4 q% |% `" |  a# n
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."  w8 m* @% h9 o: n5 Z' r' E

( p0 z, t8 ?& U( {$ c9 e8 g  p- d# d# D"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."2 ?) K: [* [) _. a
/ Q& B$ v( T3 }2 l
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:3 x4 }/ F/ }! |1 n8 {+ r% c; V
1 q( P$ s. g  Y* z( K4 v' F$ n
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
/ j0 q& Y; ~7 B- h3 H

# B* V7 _: \3 Q3 z"I applied for the job but was rejected."+ S/ c7 c- M% |

1 k( U' d. o8 qSome other differences that come to mind:4 i" X# K9 i4 f2 v' X, p( \6 J* M

% _; h8 X- E. t7 d! [, o0 A& U" P"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
& N+ t  B- v+ r6 U; z0 {  P# u# {4 C  Z) C
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.8 }2 z# D" Y3 @  q+ }, |- \

4 b- R; p  E6 l% F7 FYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Other opinions:
$ O  X4 \! D8 @9 H8 ?2 V
1 E4 n! u. C' x! y5 t& b/ ZThey 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.).
5 r+ N% a9 `3 ^1 a7 t+ [$ z( i"I refused / rejected his job offer."! L0 @  |! ^3 t% S3 D) x
Difference in Grammar:
! z/ r* I) P( c9 D# P& x"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.
* i; g/ X  l4 f. ]3 \% d, C1 P! ^% b( z5 X( k$ R5 Z7 a
There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.2 y4 R& F4 R. E5 W7 h3 J

" G) p# _; S) F2 p5 N9 URefuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something. 6 R. Y+ {3 ^  s3 H7 Q! W, ?
3 P& g4 t4 a; B
"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"
) v, O/ t' H  M5 s+ I' N' ~/ F  }; K0 ]6 M4 U8 \
Reject can be used to not accept something that is broken, not working properly, not in good shape/order.
