这两个词都有“心灵上的”的意思。其区别是：

1.mental侧重“心理上的”; spiritual侧重“心灵上的”。例如:

His agony was mental, not physical.

他的痛苦是心理上的,不是身体上的。

Her spiritual beauty outshone her physical beauty.

她的心灵美胜于她的外表美。

2.spiritual还有“宗教的”“教会的”意思,而mental没有此义。例如:

I am not concerned with man's spiritual problems.我不关注人们宗教方面的问题。

mental，spiritual

这两个形容词均有“精神的”之意。

mental侧重指某人对周围环境所具有的内心，情绪上及智力方面的反映。

spiritual侧重人内心深处的思维对客观事物的反映，而不是人的身体对事物的反应而构成人的精神因素。
