[多项选择]爱情被认为是文学作品的永恒主题，中西方文化都产生了许多以爱情为主题的伟大作品。我国伟大的古典小说家曹雪芹所著的《红楼梦》和“英国文学之父”威廉·莎士比亚的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，都是以爱情为主题的文学作品。
曹雪芹于18世纪末期完成《红楼梦》，而莎士比亚的作品于20世纪初期才传人中国。因此，曹雪芹的《红楼梦》并未受到《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的影响。莎士比亚生活在16～17世纪的英格兰，他自然无缘见识《红楼梦》。可是，这两位生活于不同世纪、不同文化背景下的文坛巨人的作品中，却存在着许多共同之处。

参考答案:A. Love is considered as a permanent theme of literary works. In Eastern and Western cultures there have emerged many great works that use love as their themes. A Dream of Red Manshion by Cao Xueqin, a great classical novelist in China, and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the "Father of English Literature", are both literary works that use love as their themes.
At the end of the AHth century Cao Xueqin finished writing A Dream of Red Manshion while Shakespeare’s works did not come into China until at the beginning of the B0th century. Shakespeare lived in England between the AFth and the AGth century. Therefore, Cao Xueqin’s A Dream of Red Manshion was not affected by Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare lived in England between the AFth and the AGth century, so he had no opportunity to read A Dream of Red Manshion. However, there is a great deal in common in the works of the two literary giants who lived in different centuries and in different cultural backgrounds.
