Though the glass building is modern enough, such scenes suggest that little has really changed at London’ s ancient insurance market. For centuries, brokers and underwriters have performed similar rituals, in good times and in bad notably in the early 1990s, when Lloyd’ s suffered such huge losses that it almost went under. But since it pulled back from the abyss in 1996, Lloyd’ s has reinvented itself. It clings tenaciously to its historic trappings; but, in substance, it is as though it had died and come back in a new form.
To see how Lloyd’ s has changed, look at who invests there. This year, Britain’ s largest insurer, CGU, has moved its marine operation into Lloyd’ s. March & McLennan, the world’ s largest insurance broker, has helped to found a new Bermudian insurer that will underwrite from Lloyd’ s. And the market has welcomed its first big multinational, Smith Kline BeeCham, a drags giant, which has launched an in-house(or "captive")insurer. Other arrivals read like a Who’ s of the industry , including Warren Buffet’ s Berkshire Hathaway, Ace, a Bermudian insurer, and America’ s Paul.
This adds up to a ringing endorsement of Lloyd’ s renewed viability, long-term profitability and competitiveness, none of which could have been taken for granted as recently as 1996. Then the market had racked up the world’ s biggest-ever commercial loss(8 billion $13 billion)in five years. It had mined at least 1 ,600 of its 34 ,000 members("names"), all underwriting with unlimited liability; some committed suicide. Lloyd’s seemed doomed. [br] How is the opinion of the author about the London’ s insurance market?

文章第一段提到But since it pulled back…come back in a new form。劳埃德海上保险协会从1996年的深渊中站了起来,但是现在似乎又回到了从前。由此可知欧洲的保险业在近几年所做改变很小。
