prolog check element existence in list

for the question "how to check if the 3 is member of a list" I defined the follow predicate

member(E,[E|_]).
member(E,[_|R] :- member(E,R).

isthreeinlist(L) :- member(3,L).

but how to "check whether 3 OR 4 is member of a list"?

any hint?

(3 AND 4 is easy though).

    threeorfor([1,2,5]).
false

threeorfor([1,2,3]).
