用法How to use 做生意
做生意 means to do business or run a business, usually as your own work rather than as an employee. It is an intransitive verb-object phrase, so it normally does not take an object; you say someone 做生意, 开始做生意, or 做生意很忙. To name a specific business, use a verb like 开 (开公司/开饭馆) or the pattern 做...生意.
