"Rechazar" tiene sentido de "reject", que a veces es sinónimo de "refuse" pero no siempre. "Refuse" también se traduce "negarse a".

Según la RAE, "rehusar" es no querer o no aceptar algo. Sin embargo, rechazar tiene más acepciones.

Cuando vas invitado, no puedes rehusar / rechazar la comida que te ponen (no puedes negarte).
Rehusó / rechazó hacer declaraciones (se negó a hacer declaraciones)

Sin embargo:

Los soldados rechazaron al enemigo en el puente (se resistieron y el enemigo tuvo que retroceder).
No puedes rechazar a tus primos de esa manera, son tu familia.
Cuando a alguien le trasplantan un órgano, puede sufrir un rechazo.
Los electrones se rechazan entre sí.

It is true. It has to do with the way you ask your questions. In other words, how your head functions.

La empanadita rica hace lo mismo que tú.
