求了解二战的英语大神帮我翻译一下

All their armoured divisions or what was left of them together with great masses of infantry andartillery, hurled themselves in vain upon the ever-narrowing, ever-contracting appendix within which the British and French armies fought.
这是丘吉尔演讲we shall never surrender里的话,帮我翻译一下，尤其是ever-narrowing, ever-contracting appendix，这两个单词是什么意思。

Answer 1

他们所有的装甲师或他们剩余的部队，和他们大量的步兵、炮兵一起，无奈地将他们自己投入到与英法联军残酷的、不必要的战争中。

ever-narrowing 更加狭小（更加残酷）

ever-contracting appendix 附属合约（不重要的部分）
