下面一句摘自2018年高考英语江苏卷完形填空:
She writes, “Homelessness had taken every material thing from me and left me torn bare, an empty page at the end of a partly written book.”
她写道:“无家可归夺走了我所有的物质财富,让我一无所有,就像一本未完成的书末尾的空白页。”
好奇问一下,left me torn bare 这个结构中,torn 和 bare 都是形容词吗?形容词可以修饰形容词吗?它们是啥成分?
关于 torn bare 的用法与理解这里有讨论:

老外认为 torn bare 是 an odd usage 或 a weird usage,并认为 torn bare 的意思是 stripped bare (of possessions),即 having had everything taken away from me。
