使用德文不利于企业国际化，也会妨碍招募全球顶尖人才。
VAG人力资源长Karlheinz Blessing宣布在未来，英文将成为大众集团内部的官方语言。
这将有利于招募全球顶尖人才，也能增进集团内部高层经理人相互之间的沟通。
Blessing说，“多元化和具备国际经验，这对管理(阶层)日益重要。”

In the future, English will be VW Group's business language,
the automaker's personnel chief Karlheinz Blessing said in a statement.
The change should improve VW's ability to recruit international
top performers and also improve cooperation among the company's top managers.
"Diversity and international experience will be more important for management
than ever before," Blessing said.
大众集团将锁定那些具有更广泛经验的管理人才。
除此之外，大众也会更优先考虑那些具备各种不同商业领域与不同品牌的外国职务经验
和知识的人才。
大众集团英文化的目标是借此增进国际化、多元化，以及改变企业视野。
VW Group will be aiming for managers with a broader experience profile.
Among other things, greater priority will be given to foreign assignments
and knowledge gained in different business areas and brands.
"The objective is to foster internationality, diversity and a change of
perspective," the automaker said.

相较于奔驰和BMW的总裁都能讲一口流利的英文，还会用英文开会、谈公事，
大众集团总裁的英文一直都不好。前任CEO Martin Winterkorn英文很差，
现任CEO Matthias Mueller讲英文也有点吃力。

英文逐字稿
MUELLER: One reason could be a misunderstanding. One reason - another reason
could be that people and employees did their work not in the right way.
There are different possible reasons for that.
这段英文内容是Mueller讲柴油造假案几种可能的原因。
1. 美国政府可能误会大众了 (意指大众没做错事)
2. 大众员工们做错事了。这会有多种可能的原因。
