Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese structure '越…越… (yuè… yuè…)' is used to express the idea that as one situation or action increases or decreases, another situation or action increases or decreases correspondingly. This structure is almost directly equivalent to the English 'the more... the more...' structure. It is often used to communicate co-dependent properties or conditions.
