Thames Islands 应该翻译为:泰晤士河群岛。
1. Islands 是复数,故译为“群岛”;
2. 这些小岛就在泰晤士河上,所以,名称要体现出“岛屿的归属”。
下面这段文字讲的很清楚:
Eyots and Aits — Thames Islands,by Miranda Vickers. The Thames has many islands. Miranda has undertaken a review of all of them. She will tell us about those of greatest interest.
Eyots and Aits:小岛和河中的小岛
