English term or phrase: Or that Cisco could know one way or the other
Cosmic radiation? While we all know that cosmic radiation can wreak havoc on electronic devices, there’s far less agreement as to the likelihood of it being the culprit in this case. {Or that Cisco could know one way or the other.}

Chinese translation:连思科也很难准确判断。
Explanation:
上述答案与原文有分歧--整个段落都在质疑某事件起因判定为cosmic radiation的确切性。

首先,认可CR可能对电子设备产生影响;
接着,话锋转向本次事件的起因,关于CR是否最嫌疑很难得到大众一致认可;
最后,追加一句,连思科也很难/无法准确判断。

or that cisco could know one way or the other
(如果是人为破坏的,Cisco肯定能查出来)


Explanation:
there’s far less agreement as to the likelihood of it being the culprit in this case 大概意思是不太可能是人为破坏。
Or that Cisco could know one way or the other. 如果是,Cisco一定能查出来。注意过去式could表示“如果是的话已经查出来了。” (直译就是,如果是人为破坏,Cisco不管用什么手段,总能查出来)

关键的词组one way or the other的意思:

one way or the other also one way or another

if you say that you will do something or that something will happen one way or the other, you are determined to do it or that it will happen, although you do not know exactly how:

e.g. One way or the other, I'm going to finish this job next week.

不然思科肯定查得出来


Explanation:
同意Tanglsus和lotusgrass,不过联系上下文我觉得是"不然思科肯定查得出来"。整个部分我的理解是

是宇宙射线吗?虽然我们都知道宇宙射线会严重损毁电子仪器,但是这里宇宙射线的嫌疑非常小,不然思科肯定查得出来。

人家思科應怎麼也應該該知道的吧!


Explanation:
根據下列詞典的解釋,Or That是一個習語,本來的意思是“哦好,我錯了,還是你說的對”

結合上下文,這裡應該是具有譏諷的語氣的,因為文章的基點就是認為思科的說法令人匪夷所思。

那麼,前邊的陳述屬於說理,是common sense. 話鋒一轉,說道“ 哦哦,我也糊塗了,人家思科應怎麼也應該該知道的吧!"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Or That

Or That
A phrase used to recover from a wrong statement you have made by agreeing with the person who is clearly right. Used as something to avoid humiliation or looking stupid after saying something wrong.
Teacher: What's number 1?

Student: It's A.

Teacher: Actually no, it's C.

Student: Or That
