v. (动词)

decline用作动词的基本意思是有礼貌地拒绝邀请、给予或服务。引申可表示“衰落,降低”“倾斜,下降”“下沉”。作“辞谢,谢绝”解时多用作及物动词,其后可接名词、动名词或动词不定式作宾语。作“衰落”解时只用作不及物动词。

decline作动词指“有礼貌地谢绝”，比refuse语气上要婉转些；
decline后可跟不定式或动名词，但跟不定式比较普遍。
She declined to answer my questions.
decline的名词形式有declination，declinature和declinal，但都不常见。美语中declination比较常见，但还是习惯用refuse的名词形式refusal。

v. (动词)

decline, refuse, reject: 这三个词的共同意思是“拒绝”。其区别是：

1.从语气上来说, refuse是最普通的用词,一般指直接地拒绝,语气不那么委婉。decline语气较委婉,相当于汉语的“谢绝”。例如:

He declined my invitation because of a previous appointment.因另有约会在先,他谢绝了我的邀请。

reject语气强烈,用于正式场合,如外交和商业条款之类,表示当面明确地拒绝所给、所请、所提议之事,另外还有抛弃或剔除不适当的或不喜欢的东西的意味。例如:

He rejected my friendly advice upon further consideration.他经过进一步的考虑,明确地拒绝了我友好的建议。

2.从搭配上来说,这三个词都可接名词(如an offer)作宾语,但invitation只能与refer, decline搭配; suggestion只能与reject, decline搭配; permission只能与refuse搭配; plan只能与reject搭配。另外refuse和decline都可接动词不定式作宾语,而reject则不可以。例如:

He refused〔declined〕 to join us in the game.他拒绝与我们一起游戏。

refuse，decline，reject，repel，deny: 这些动词均含“拒绝”之意。

refuse语气较重，指态度坚决，肯定无疑的拒绝。

decline指婉言谢绝他人的帮助或邀请等。

reject多指由于某物某事某行为不能让人满意而被当面直截了当地拒绝，与之相近的是spurn，鄙弃之意。

repel作“拒绝”解时，语气比reject强。

deny指否认（观点）。
