这里的understood是什么意思?请解释一下这句话Before the damage is understood 。

before后面的句子before others realize/understand how much damage has been done ,如果你认为我是一个比较容易理解已经完成。这里的understood类似于realized (理解)或comprehended (理解)。例子: I didn't understand how bad our company's situation was until we went bankrupt. (直到破产,我The CEO didn't understand the company's dire straits until it was too late.知道自己的公司有多糟糕。)例: The CEO didn't understand the company's dire straits until it was too late. ( CEO直到为时已晚才知道公司的主要特征是什么。)
