One way to hold this phrase: picture money moving in very large amounts. When the amount gets that big, you can stand at either end of it. Stand where the money is collected and you see the companies, big enough as a group to move prices and policy. Stand where the money is spent and you see the thing people are buying — dieting, bubble tea, running shoes — which is why an activity can be big business too. Same flow of money, two places to stand.

可以想成一個畫面:一大筆一大筆的錢在流動。錢一大到某個程度,看的人就會分成兩頭站。站在「誰收下這些錢」那一頭,看到的是那一群大公司,大到足以左右價格和政策。站在「錢花在什麼上面」那一頭,看到的是一樣東西變得很好賺,所以珍奶、跑鞋、短影片都可以 be big business。同一股錢潮,只是站的位置不同。
