近义词辨析
refuse, reject, decline, deny, repel
这组词均含有“打破”或“挤碎”的意思。
refuse
是表示“拒绝”这一概念的最普通的用词，语气比decline强，含有非常坚决地、不客气地拒绝的意味。refuse作及物动词时，后面常常接名词或代词表示被拒绝的对象，跟不定式表示拒绝做某事。作不及物动词时，refuse可单独使用。
reject
意为“拒不接受，不采纳”，语气比refuse更强，强调抛弃、丢弃，有时可翻译为“抵制，驳回”。
该词还常常表示由于客观条件不符合规定的标准而遭到拒绝。reject后通常只接名词或代词。decline
常常翻译为“辞谢，婉言谢绝”，指有礼貌地、语气委婉地拒绝，主要用于拒绝有关社交活动的邀请或请求等。
deny
常常作“否认，否定”讲，其后可接名词、代词、动名词或that从句。另外，deny也可作“拒绝给予”讲，这时多接双宾语，即用在deny sb. sth.结构中，并且可以与refuse互换，不过语气要比refuse更坚决。
repel
指“拒绝接受”，甚至含“抵制”的意思，语气比reject强。
