DIALOGUE – 会話全文
– Barry, let’s stop for a second. I think we’re lost.
– OK, let me check. It’s good that smartphones come with a GPS, right? Without them, we’d easily get lost.
– Yeah, we’re lucky. So, which way is the station?
– That way. It’s five kilometers from here to the station. We should walk fast because it looks like it’s going to rain.
– OK. I hope they have a restaurant near the station because I’m getting hungry.
– Yeah, me too. I’m in the mood for a big bowl of curry and rice.
– You always eat that on these hiking trips.
– Well, after all this exercise, my body craves spices.

ANSWER
1). It’s a bit muggy today, isn’t it?
muggy = hot and humid
2). Gosh! It’s midnight already.

So, Chris, why is the speaker using ‘Gosh’ instead of ‘God’?

Some people will take offense to the use of religious word like God.
So instead of God, they will use the word that sounds like it,
like beginning with g-o, so we’ve got Gosh.
And you can also say, Goodness.
religious 宗教的な

Yeah, you can also say, “Oh, my goodness.”
Or just say “Oh, my.”, right?
