Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
1 Z2 R$ K1 z. `" E. Z& preduse,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:. c3 c9 ?# z5 i0 e1 S% D
& k4 C% w1 g0 P% Z  M( {
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."6 E* j% i) P: r# A3 l: B# i
4 g( y# z' |5 W3 C% B- |: c* ^
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
& s$ ]8 h- g' M9 S5 w- n# W0 h7 b
! x( Z5 G9 F! |" F- w  j+ P7 EIn 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:! Z$ j- X8 Z+ K" _
9 R# ~5 i4 H* h& \: ^# B, k* {3 D
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
! \5 d3 X0 L9 s
) N. y* S# N* S3 ^$ v"He rejected my idea."' E) a4 C  u1 w# U* P* z" K

! c3 [5 n9 m$ x: T/ r"I applied for the job but was rejected."
1 c. M: e: o7 K" T, r& Y7 G5 w
Some other differences that come to mind:- I" O$ ?7 Z& c4 k" D
3 d& c: w/ h+ I9 E' J5 d4 ^8 G
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.9 g* x0 S& i+ n0 T! A" X# A
% a! o5 t! T/ B4 R
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
& w  r2 f& e6 P( a, d0 {. o/ `1 j3 ~
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

/ V) c7 R, g  S% `8 g3 u1 ?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.).

$ M7 y0 w. v% S+ y7 L6 O% @Difference in Grammar:
# z( M  a  `# d: g: x"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.! x& P& t! L" ~) x- E7 |

1 J! d* F9 D( _$ A7 QThere is a slight differences in meaning, but it's rather subtle./ e( `' f% b, Y8 A/ ?
/ c) d6 y+ @8 X( ~3 Y& n7 r
Refuse is a bit harsher / stronger. The person is insistent on not accepting something.
- t4 j: @4 S/ M% i9 [  p; {+ w, ]+ ~' ?$ z2 i
"I refuse to answer that question. No! I will not do it!"

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