Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。. E1 B+ t. O. {% s: |" G; ]
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。
, P( n; M1 n, n! Y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:
) l2 Q, N2 }( u' X
# c, d- `2 {/ q. B. i- ?"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
6 p' R& H4 C5 z; k* W8 I7 J
0 S( J1 K# A* [. u/ g"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."* A; K$ }7 F$ a% C

2 w# ?' c% C! xIn 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 Z$ q3 @1 Z. L# H4 S7 Q. i; e. H& _: e: C
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." $ _) ?- N1 Z8 J; {$ R( g

3 _( }% E2 }9 g% A"He rejected my idea."& k) m2 _6 N2 F5 y& `

; E5 O% \/ y8 B" j- Z) Y/ N1 A6 P: H. q; Q( n# Q8 q
Some other differences that come to mind:
5 X5 g, d: C5 `5 c* h* ?+ Y3 P1 v1 U
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
* q0 y2 y1 D9 V/ `! {
- g' `+ p/ y6 h- |5 n' r"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
; l. I+ Q, P3 I/ v) r
! y5 h/ u: K4 xYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

"I refused / rejected his job offer.". z6 J5 Q6 x. u' _
Difference in Grammar:

There is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle.
, h* E) c( v' G$ n  A$ c: f: T3 S4 |" O1 S3 L
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.   [! ^3 Y: N( k. F

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

"The company will reject any application that doesn't have a cover letter attached."

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.
