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:0 {/ j# i. B8 {! Z0 z

4 u% A* _9 {/ ~) ?7 f"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
3 ?0 }2 A9 X( }$ X# p+ ?4 x; I% n/ Z5 U  t3 b
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
. k' r4 o& Z. b* @* W) N* ]/ @+ K' |$ l7 R( I1 Q
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:: Q8 {+ x8 V) W8 \
6 C; O9 |% u# }
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." 4 [) H8 S# M5 t; V2 ~; N9 W! g
" M  G. h( D/ ?. x" v2 i; h
"He rejected my idea."& D6 D0 R6 u* X$ D: N
6 X' H9 p6 a2 a& w+ V4 C
"I applied for the job but was rejected."( L2 G4 l3 g$ ~, _7 k

$ L9 ?) `8 [7 z$ Q1 _8 j"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.

3 G- I+ M6 U3 I) c$ T4 o0 c' l; U"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.: w0 e) b* Y" L. D6 U& K
