In episode 24, while the angel is fusing with Unit 00, and it starts trying to fuse with unit 01, Rei says:

"Is my mind and soul to become one with Ikari...?"

"You will not!" *reverses AT field*

What does she mean? That she will not allow the angel to harm Shinji? Also, she says:

"If I leave unit 00, the AT field will cease to be... I will not let it."

I morely understand that last one, but still, what does she mean by "You will not!"?

I think she was referring to Gendo.

If she was referring to Gendo, why did she say it when the angel tried to attack unit 01?

Gross...

For the record I highly doubt she meant Gendo.

She was Gendo's puppet by sacrificing herself to save Shinji she was defying Gendo. Remember afterwards she begins to almost feel emotions and nearly breaks Gendos glasses? It was a statement of defiance that she was not his puppet and was slowly becoming self aware.

Rei Ayanami III that was.
The three Reis seemed to have different personalities.
Rei I- Evil demonic toddler
Rei II- An iconic tool
Rei III- Self aware third impact tool.

Yeah. She says it to the angel attacking Shinji, as the angel attacks Shinji. But I'm sure she was talking to Gendo.

In Japanese she says "Ikari-kun". She's talking about Shinji. Your honorific-fu is weak.
(Gendo would be 'the Commander' or "ano hito", i.e. 'that person'...)

In the original Japanese, I believe Rei says "dame," which roughly translates into "I can't, I mustn't." I've seen it translated into english as simply "no," but the word chigau would be used instead in that case. For some reason Rei can't allow herself to fulfill her desire to "be one" with Shinji.

"No" is a perfectly acceptable way to translate dame (no good). Chigau is more like "WROOOOONG!" but could also translate as "no".
