✔ 最佳答案
這個是特別的用法, 只要前後對稱就Ok!

所以第二句係正確的。

The more beautiful the hat is, the more expensive it is.
(The more + comparative + n + verb/ verb-to-be, the more + comparative + n + verb/ verb-to-be)

其他例句:

The Higher You Climb, The More You Pay

如果某D adjective不用加more就可以變做comparative, 就不要加more, e.g. safer, higher, longer, prettier, lazier, harder ... 。
