DixieDixie，is an old nickname for the southern states of the US是美國南方各州的舊暱稱，especially the ones that broke away and fought the North in the Civil War尤其是指南北戰爭時脫離聯邦、和北方打仗的那些州（the Confederacy也就是Confederacy，南方邦聯）。It is not an official name on the map它不是地圖上的正式地名；it is a song-and-story name而是歌曲和故事裡用的名字。
You meet it in the song “Dixie,” in phrases like “the heart of Dixie,” and in the saying whistling Dixie, meaning you are talking as if something nice were true when it is not.
You meet it in the song “Dixie,”你會在歌曲“Dixie”裡遇到它，in phrases like “the heart of Dixie,”也會在像「the heart of Dixie」（Dixie之心）這樣的說法裡遇到它，and in the saying whistling Dixie還有whistling Dixie這個說法裡——meaning you are talking as if something nice were true when it is not意思是你講得好像美好的事是真的，但其實不是。
It can sound warm and homey to some Americans and loaded to others, because that “old South” was built on slavery. Many people now just say the South. It is old-fashioned in careful writing.
It can sound warm and homey to some Americans對一些美國人來說它聽起來溫暖親切，and bitterly loaded to others但對另一些人來說卻帶著沉重的意味，because that “old South” was built on slavery因為那個「舊南方」是建立在奴隸制度上的。Many people now just say the South現在很多人就直接說the South（南方）。It is old-fashioned in careful writing在講究的寫作裡它算是有點過時的字。
(A different word dixie means a kind of cooking pot — not this sense.)
(A different word dixie means a kind of cooking pot（另一個字dixie是指一種煮飯用的鍋子 — not this sense.)——不是這裡講的這個意思。)
組成First written down in 1859. The true source is not known. It may come from the Mason-Dixon line, the old boundary people used to mark North from South, or from dixie, slang for a Louisiana ten-dollar note, from French dix, “ten.”
