Reject,客观上拒绝,那个东西就是不合格的,所以我拒绝。0 q2 q, r7 z0 |6 S' p3 V' f0 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。, z  ~3 A6 h/ [9 ^
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:
' O; `$ b7 ?3 d0 b% {$ n6 U% q, n2 r) {% G
"She refused the gift." ~ "She rejected the gift."
! p8 ^( l! a( t1 ]+ B; ~
7 _9 A  T1 l2 i+ F"She refused the offer of help." ~ "She rejected the offer of help."
0 I3 q5 A* L; g  H
. S3 }8 M* x' L4 d5 l! [( J: w8 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:7 N7 v8 Z6 X+ H

- X0 ?3 l; v# Z1 M  N"The company has rejected our latest batch of components."
/ e) k# T3 {) v- {: P: Y/ z$ v3 v( ~! z$ c$ _
"He rejected my idea."* l  ~! O, q9 e3 S5 D/ B1 t

: `  }/ h# E& e( J7 \( \# J6 u"I applied for the job but was rejected."
, L6 u8 F8 j1 i3 n2 p5 f) x
) P; ]$ J  }/ z# DSome other differences that come to mind:* Q9 }( S& t5 q1 f
5 M' j7 o3 E/ k5 I/ D
"refuse" can be used with an infinitive (e.g. "She refused to go."), but "reject" can't.4 t$ m+ n/ v* e2 V5 k9 z
& U/ ^9 x% u2 K4 R
"refuse" can be used intransitively ("She refused.") but "reject" can't.
/ x9 Y. t  F4 n9 @* j: P  H2 n  U
You can be "refused something" (e.g. "She was refused entry.") but not "rejected something".
