The Chinese word 拒绝 means “to refuse” or “to reject”. It is often used in situations where someone is declining an offer or request, or when someone is turning down an invitation or proposal. For example, if someone offers you a gift but you don’t want it, you can say “我拒绝” which means “I refuse”. Similarly, if someone invites you to a party but you can’t go, you can say “我不得不拒绝” which means “I have to refuse”.
