推理题。题目问的是：提及“赢的不仅仅是索赔人”，Howard Matz的意思是______。文章第三段第三、四句提到：I think the fraud can be proven... it isn't just going to be the plaintiffs win and here's the number．There are going to be all kinds of findings... if I were counsel to entities in France， I would want to make sure my clients understood、我认为诈骗是成立的…赢的将不仅仅是索赔人，还有数字。陪审团的裁决各式各样…如果我是法国公司的辩护人，我将会想要使我的顾客被充分理解”。由这番法官在去年听证会上劝说调解的话中，我们可以看出法官试图说服被告法国公司的理由在于，它一定会败诉，且会以原告所要求的金额进行赔偿，其潜在含义为还不如争取庭外和解，其代价可能还会小一些。因此， [C]“通过庭外和解，被告的损失可能更少”为正确．答案。 [A]“被告被指控的诈骗不一定能证明是真的”、 [B)“陪审团的裁决可能会对被告有利”和[D]“通过庭外和解，索赔人不一定能得到他们想要的钱”都不符合题意。 查看试题解析出处>>
