Picture something being held out for acceptance — an offer, an application, a person hoping to be wanted — and picture it being pushed back instead of taken in. Reject is that refusal to take in. What is being offered decides the sense; the noun is simply whatever ended up on the pushed-back pile.

可以想成:有東西被遞出來、等著被接納——一份提議、一份申請、一個希望被在乎的人——結果它被推了回去,沒有被收進來。reject 就是這個「不收」。遞出來的是什麼,決定了它是哪個意思;而名詞用法指的就是最後被推到那一堆裡的東西或人。
