Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。
& c1 B! _' h  ]# X, x" e7 Jreduse,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 E) _8 a* [2 V; u/ i; o* g+ `" R* C) ]
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."& W/ [' H7 H# J1 R
( Q4 \" {/ M. N, l
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."6 e# h0 |7 h: h+ S
, G6 m& V  v3 O% D# Q/ H3 M$ z
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 E9 T" R& _# K, {& [* X) H9 P

6 I+ t  |7 ^! b& O6 {* Z"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
( a+ C! m6 S# q; l/ F# \: U4 R# U- I5 s" g( y+ G
"He rejected my idea."3 @9 r/ i0 d8 y) @
) F7 A7 I+ \% ?& E) N* h
"I applied for the job but was rejected."* D: k# @+ `- _2 _( B7 X
9 K5 v6 n2 \8 i  {) d2 l
Some other differences that come to mind:
# c' k6 _7 M4 d$ m
; q" G& \9 h, J: q$ c) X"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.
- B! F5 d5 o  a/ i7 H  ~' z: `& q% N5 V( G7 F% y
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.1 V+ U1 T' S/ d5 n1 P

& _4 ?3 |3 O3 r# ^You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

Difference in Grammar:
8 Q( X, f* i. o  u"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.

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.
