Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。. w6 [2 \8 c: H
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。
, ~1 s- u. t6 r; G9 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:$ \: X' r4 v& b4 Y9 w
  d7 V; _6 Z& R- g6 J  [' g
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift.") ?  x( D/ a9 C+ ^; V3 D" d
' t" C! |* K$ x1 A2 t! j
"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
# Z$ Z3 Z7 r2 B. V5 B0 C# |; @  ~) F- ^  h! I: [8 y
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:2 Q2 {# P  h" r, u1 f1 B% m
% H4 n# h! g- l7 m
"The company has rejected our latest batch of components." + `' n' H8 }; l8 [6 f

; ]" C$ Q9 Q: d8 L! s"He rejected my idea."# [; Y- N6 N& f3 e, A

+ I  x0 g7 }2 v0 P: I% K"I applied for the job but was rejected."

5 f( l# ]6 p4 B6 q7 j& NSome other differences that come to mind:

"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.' C6 D) E7 E4 S9 W/ _

7 R4 f! s& Z/ E) w$ sYou can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".

"Refuse" is often followed by an infinitive (to + VERB). Reject usually has a noun or noun phrase after it.
